Default Different margins on different pages

I am setting up a template for letters at work. The first page of our
letterhead has one ste of margins and all subsequent pages will have a
different sent of margins.

I know that section breaks can be used, but if staff copy and paste text
from existing letters into this new template, the section break moves.

Is there any way of locking the section break to the page? so the pasted
text goes over the top of it?

Hi Lilly80,

You could setup your document with a 'different first page' layout. That allows the first page to have a different set of margins to
the rest of the document without the need for Section breaks.

Hi macropod,

This doesn't seem to work still. If you cut and paste into the front page,
the margins of the front page follow that text all the way down. I need them
to convert to the new margins as soon as the text starts to populate the
second page. Am I doing something wrong?
