In Word Template - setting different margins on different pages

[Ken Boyter]

Hi,

Thank you all that replied to an earlier question. This one leads on from it:

Thanks to the advice I can now create a Word Template that has an image on
page 1 and a different image on any continuous pages if the user continues to
type - I now need to set the starting place for typing to be different in
page 1 (6cm down approx) and any continuous pages (3cm down approx) as the
images are of different heights!

Anyone up for the challenge?

I would really appreciate your answers,

Ken

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.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step
instructions. (It also has the following links)

If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter
wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced
Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is),
Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions
including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook
Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You
should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com

Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they
are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists
very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates
in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have
better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

Hope this helps,

The article at http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm explains
this. You can add as much space as needed to the First Page Header; you
don't have to change the top margin because the header content will push the
document body down. On subsequent pages, which have the primary Header
(which doesn't contain this extra content), the normal top margin will be
observed.
