different page margin on different pages

[Guest]

Is it possible to have page margin A for 1st page, and page margin B for 2nd
and subsequent pages?

G'Day User,

Use a section break instead of a page break at the bottom
of Page 1 - You can set different margins (among other things)
for different sections.

I went to the bottom of the page and did a Next Page section break. Once
done, I get the same footer as my 1st page (however I already have set the
footer to be different than the 1st page).

But if I just continously press enter to move to 2nd page (without setting a
page section break), i will not see the footer on the 2nd page (which is what
I want).

Any clues?

I did a section break (next page) and I'm getting page 2 of 1, page 3 of 1 etc

If I do a Continuous section break, i get the same thing Page 2 will be
"Page 2 of 1" etc etc).

Word 97 here. Is this a bug in this version?

Yes, but if we are talking a letterhead, you probably don't want to since a
section break will involve figuring out which section to type in. Instead
use a textbox or frame to simulate this. See the letterhead textboxes
tutorial listed below. First, 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)

G'Day User,

Use the Section Break (Next Page)!

View>Header & Footer
On page 2 decide whether you want "Same as Previous" for the
footer, or remove this and type in a new footer for pp2 onwards
(i.e. for section 2).

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Read the post again. The OP wants to be able to type continuously from page
1 to page 2, which is not possible with a section break. The correct answer
is explained at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm

Hi Suzanne,

The OP wants:
1. A different margin on pp2 onward.
2. A different footer on pp2 onward.

He originally set up (2) (Diff 1st Page Hdr) without a section break.
Now he has a section break that gives him (1), but has lost him (2)
since his footer has 'Same as Previous' (that he must now remove).
=============

I went to the bottom of the page and did a Next Page section break. Once
done, I get the same footer as my 1st page

He points out that he loses (2) with the section break that gives him (1) (which
WE understand - but HE doesn't).

But if I just continously (sic) press enter to move to 2nd page (without
setting
a page section break), i will not see the footer on the 2nd page (which is
what
I want).

He points out that he gets (2) by continuous typing ('cos that's how he set it
up).
===============
