Is it possible to have one particular parge (in this case, the first
page/cover sheet), have different margins than that of the rest of
document (which is several pages long)?
Thank you!!
There are two ways to go about this.
Since margins are properties of sections, one way is to insert a section
break (usually a Next Page break) between the cover sheet and the second
page. Then you can set the margins in each of the two sections
independently, using the File > Page Setup dialog and making sure that the
Apply To box is set to "This section".
The other way is to fake the margins by inserting an invisible (no fill, no
outline) text box to push the text toward the center of the page. See the
"More complex letterhead" section of
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm. In the Page Setup dialog,
on the Layout tab, check the box for "Different first page". Then put the
cursor in the First Page Header and draw the text box down the side of the
page.
