Automatic Formatting Question
I have created a form that is normaly a 1 page letter with fill-in fields.
If the content of the letter forces a second page I need the margins on the second page to be different than the first. How do I accomplish this? |

Automatic Formatting Question
Hi toneybarber
Margins are a property of a section, not a page. So you can't change the margins for an individual page within a section. You can, however, fudge. Set up the document with different headers and footers for the First Page of the section. Leave the header for the first page blank. Put two empty white boxes in the header for the second and subsequent pages, one on either side of the page. Stretch them down the full length of the page. Then format them as "Square". That will get you narrower margins on the second and subsequent pages. Reverse the process if you need narrower margins on the first page. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
