In addition to being able to specify different headers and footers for the
first page in your document/section, users should be able to specify
different margins for the first page as well.

You can. Margins can be different for each section.

Hi Jezebel,

Sorry for being somewhat unclear.

Within sections, you can, if you wish, apply different settings for the
first page of the section... as far as headers and footers are concerned. It
would be nice if the same could be said of margins.

When your section break, originally placed on the first page, somehow
arrives on page 2, the margins defined for the first section will be applied
to page 2 as well. With the suggested feature, this would be prevented. This
allows further different formatting for, say, the title page of your document.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for instructions for
doing this.

The same CAN be said of margins. Look at Suzanne's link for how.

Hi Jezebel and Suzanne,

I'm not convinced. You can set top and bottom margins, but only simulate
different left and right margins by inserting frames or text boxes. This is a
workaround - of which I knew - to produce the same effect, but it is not the
same.

Moreover, if you need smaller left and right margins on your first page than
on your other pages, you would have a text box or frame on every page except
the first. That may be okay of course but, well, it's no so elegant.

I agree that maybe the need for my suggested feature is not that high since
this workaround exists.

I agree it's not ideal. The only other option is to insert a section break,
and while this works for things like title pages, it is not satisfactory for
continuous text such as letters.
