Word - How to set different margins for header/footer vs body of l

J

Is there a way to set different margins for the header/footer versus the body
of text on a template letter? I would like for each of the margin settings
to continue on any additional pages that might be forced from the length of
the body typed in page 1.

Set the right and left indents of the Style(s) used in the headers and
footers. You can move the triangles in the rulers when you're in the
header/footer.

I think you're referring to top and bottom margins rather than the side
margins (which Peter has addressed). This is addressed in the section on
multi-page letterhead at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm.
The trick is to enable "Different first page," which allows you to
artificially expand the First Page Header/Footer beyond the top/bottom
margin.
