Thanks for all the help...I was probably not real clear in the description,
but ended up getting the problem fixed by using a page insert to adjust the
footer margins on tthe 2nd page footer...saving the doc...then opening the
doc back up and deleting the page insert and saving it again as a 1 page doc.
Now when a page 2 is forced it uses the new margin settings for the footer
on page 2. Thanks again!
