I would like to know how to create a MS Word template that will provide
top/bottom margins of 2€� and 1.3€� and left/right margins of 1.25€� ON THE
FIRST PAGE
and
top/bottom margins of 1.25€� and 1.25€� and left/right margins of 1.25€� ON ALL
FOLLOWING PAGES

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try inserting a Next Page Break and then set up your second page with the
different margins that you require. You can then save your document as a
template by choosing "Save As" and selecting Word Template. I hope this has
been helpful to you.

Do _not_ use a section break for this as suggested by Carol. Use a different
first page header/footer. You can place these outside the normal page
margins.

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 Textboxes and Styles tutorial

Template Basics

How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading

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.

Hope this helps,
