How change a margin within a document for one page only?

[Guest]

I'm trying to insert scanned floor plans into a word document, the problem is
the margin needs to be different on a per page basis...I need to know how to
change the margins and not affect the whole document.

You will have to add Next Page section breaks before and after the page on
which you want different margins.

Okay, I did that, but my tiff file is still a different size after I have
inserted it into the word document. I keep having the same problem even with
the section breaks. If I print the tiff file before it is inserted it looks
different than after I have inserted it. The floor plan is no longer the
same after I insert it into the report I am preparing.

Thank you Suzanne.

See if the detailed instructions help. You do have to change your page
margins after you create the section breaks.

The problem is still not solved...my tiff files look different after they are
inserted into my word doc (they are floor plans), when I print them before
they are inserted they are one size, after I insert them into my report they
are smaller, that is the problem. I have tried the page and section breaks,
that helps a little, but something is going on with the tiff file itself,
it's shrinking.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this. And thank you for all of
your timely responses so far.

This may be a case for inserting the picture in front of the text (not
in-line) and then using Format > Picture to return the size of the picture
to 100%. (You'll probably find that Word has scaled down, to try to make it
fit better.)

By placing the picture over the text, you can use the whole of the page.

Thank you sooooo much! That's it! This service is great...I am sooo happy.

But note that when you asked a question about your real problem rather than
what you thought was the solution, you got the correct answer faster (in
fact, you got it yesterday but lost it).
