I have a margin that is different on page one as page two. When I add data to page one, I have to correct the margins on the added data. Can Word set margins differenly on page one as subsequent pages so that no matter where you add the data the page pargins stay the same. I am having the same issue.

I want the margins on the second page and continuing pages to be different from the first page margin. I cannot set a section break to change the margin because the information that merges in is always different. Sometimes it will all print on one page and sometimes it may print on multiple pages. Can you assist me with this? Thanks! I am working with a merge document in Word 2007. I want the margins on the second page and continuing pages to be different from the first page margin.

Use the Header from Top to move the header in relation to the edge of the page. You won't see the Header & Footer Tools tab unless you're in the header or footer in a document - then it will be in the Word title bar area. Hope that helps, good luck!

I used the "break-next page" option because I am putting together a marketing portfolio. I wanted to include my resume in the portfolio and to do so required that I change the margins on the page that my resume was on. To make a long story short, it worked and I was able to keep the normal sized margins on the remainder of the report. THANKS!!! Great information, thank you for posting this.

The latest thing I tried was highlighting the text and going to page layout to drop the margin to 2" but then it forced a blank page on the next page which I could not get rid of. Can someone please help me? Many thanks, Craig Hi,

Create a 2nd page in your template, insert a header or footer on that page. In Header & Footer Tools, Design tab, Options, check Different First Page. Maybe you want to add a page number while you're in there. 2. Go into the header or footer on the first page. If you need the top margin wider, you could use Enter to get the header wider or use paragraph spacing to get it more precise. If you need the bottom margin wider, do the same thing. 3. If you need the left or right margins wider, insert a borderless text box into the header of the first page. If you need both the left and right margins wider, you'll add two text boxes, one for each side. Start or insert the text box in the header and resize or draw it all the way down to the footer; it will keep text in from the sides of the page, and act like a margin. 4. Save it as a template. If you want to remove the second page before saving, it should still look like it has the different "margins." Your first page text will stay inside what you put into the header/footer, so it will look like the margins are different. Hope that helps - if you need more detail, I will probably post this in a more detailed version next week. Great question Paul, thanks for bringing it up.

I need this to work so that when I finish typing on page 1 (even in mid-paragraph) the text will continue on page 2 but in a different margin set up. Thanks.
