Headers and margins on 2nd page
I have a document with a header on page one and not on the following page.
The problem is, the margins are still set on the following pages to allow for the header. Even though it's not there. When I try to change the margins on page two, it changes them for the entire document, therefor putting the margin on page one inside the header. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Hutch |

If you want a different header on page 2, you'll need to put in section
break before page 2. When you edit the header for section 2, make sure that the "Link to Previous" is deselected or your header for section 2 will be identical to your header for section 1.

I'm actually wanting to only have a header on the first page and no header
after that. Where is this "Link to Previous" option at? Somewhere in page setup?

Actually, let me better explain so you might be able to help me.
I have a word document (template ".dot") The header is on page one. If I type enough to make it to page 2, I do not want the margins to carry over. Nor the header. With your previous advice, I'm able to do all of this, but this envolves the blank page two being saved with the inital document (template). Thanks for any help...

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial (Shows how to simulate changing margins on first page to accomodate letterhead elements.) Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

No, what is needed is section formatting of different first page. See my
other post. A section break is seldom (if ever) the solution to this problem. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
