Different Margins Headers in template

HELP!!!

I need to create a template which include headers and
footers that have different margins then the actual body
of the document. I thought I had this figured out until
someone actually copied and paste data then the margin
settings didn't stick?

Any suggestions?

These are paragraph indents, not margins. They should be set in the header
and footer styles. Note that when you do this, if you use tabs, you'll need
to reset your center and right tabs, as well.

Either I am misunderstanding what you are stating or it's
not working correctly.

I formatted my header style and changed the paragraph
indenting to the necessary settings. It does not help
when I copy and paste text.

I was testing and I did insert text boxes from the header
along the left and right margins and that seemed to have
helped this problem...but I am not sure what I will run
into in the future.

So any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks

Text boxes don't use the header or footer style unless you apply it.

Pasted text with paragraph marks will also change the style.

Give your header (or the Header style) a 0.5" left indent (if you want it to
the right of the left margin) or a 0.5" negative right indent (-0.5") if you
want it to extend to the right of the right margin.

creating a new document. . I went into the header style as well as the
footer style) and the right indent was already set to 0. The header and
footer is still aligning with the page margins. I do not want to change my
page margins, but I need the header to be about half an inchh more to the
right than the page margin is set to. Any further odeas would be greatly
appreciated.
