Default Section breaks to have different margins - not working

Although you can set different (side) margins on a page by inserting section
breaks, this is not the preferred technique in Word. Instead, add indents to
your paragraphs.

I know that it is possible to have different margin setups on one page by
inserting a continuous section break.

So i placed my cursor and selected the position in the document where i
wanted to insert the break, that worked fine.

But then i did file page setup, adjusted margins, selected apply to this
section then enter, the cursor then moved to a second new page. I was

hoping
to have the adjusted margins occur to just once section of the page.

what am i doing wrong?

P.S i have difficulties navigating these forums, it would be appreciated

if
you could email your response to me too as well please.
