Different margins on 1st and following pages
Our companys stationary is designed so that text on the main first page has
margins Left 3,17 and Right 5,08. What we wish to happend is that when text is typed and page 2 turnes up automatically the margins for that page 2 and following pages are set back to L 3,17 / R 3,17 and that the new set of margins are "frozen" if more text is added or deleted. Today we have to type the whole text, wait until every change is made and then mark all text from startpoint on page 2 to the end of the document and change the right margin to 3,17. If or when additional changes are made - fx that text on page 1 are removed or copied from another document - the margins change again and the procedure of marking from page 2 etc etc has to be done all over. I've tried to work out a macro but thats not a 100% solution for it. So - Page 1 one set of margins - when page 2 appeares - a new set of margins which are set and is not changes for ANY reason whatever kind of text is pasted into / deleted from or added to the original text. We run Office 2000 standard on XP In advance - thanks a lot for any tips / help. |

You need to use the first page header to force the extra margin space.
See http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm. - the "Letterhead for a multi-page letter" section gives full details. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "VibSch" wrote in message ...
