Different margins for second page onwards

M

Mary Ann

I am creating a template. I want the first page to have different headers,
footers and margins from subsequent pages. When I save the template, I want
only one page to be present.

I have used the “Different First Page†in Page Setup to create the two sets
of headers and footers, which works great.

However, I cannot set different margins for the subsequent pages because
Page Setup only gives me the options Whole Document or From This Point
Forward. If I was doing this in an ordinary document for myself I would
insert a section break at the appropriate point and then create different
margins for that section.

But – I am setting up a blank template for others to use and therefore don’t
want to put the section break in.

Is there a way to do this?

If you create the second page (whether by insert page break, or however),
then set the margins, etc to how you want it. I tend to save just then.
Then delete the now, non-required second page. then re-save. I have found
that the settings for any second and beyond pages have been saved on this
file for any future user.

Best of luck.

Thank you for your reply Dean. I couldn't get this to work for me but now
have an alternative solution.

What is generally done is to use (possibly borderless blank) text boxes or
frames in the header to simulate different margins.

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.
