Excel 2003 - Footer Left/Right Margins

[Guest]

How do I change the left and right margins of footers (Excel 03)? Excel
seems to only allow distance from bottom of page as a margin, so I now have
footer margins that do not match my main body left and right margins. I can
find no info on this in MS's help files.
Thanks,
Laura

The left and right header/footer margins are fixed and cannot be moved
outwards.

The fixed setting is usually about 3/4" in from edge of paper.

You can move them inwards by padding with spaces when creating a Custom
footer/header, but not outwards.

All versions of Excel has this default.

Laura's question was exactly mine! I have been searching help to find NOTHING
about this. This will stop my search ... but I don't like the answer! Left
and right margins should match the body of the document! WHERE to I get to
post my suggestion to Microsoft for this change?!! -- Sheila
