Changing Margins Within a Document

[marysolomon]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Is it possible to change margins - top and bottom or sides - within a document. In other words, I want certain pages to have certain margins and other pages different margins.

Thank you.

Yes, you can do so, but it requires the use of Section Breaks. You can then
specify the preferred margins independently for each section.

Depending on exactly what you're trying to accomplish, however, it might be
better to consider using Left & Right Indents instead. Using Section Breaks
can get a little 'involved' & add some complexity to the document, so it's
better to avoid using them unless they're actually needed.

Thanks. I thought it might have to be Section Breaks, but hoped there might be an easier way. I'll try it both ways and see which way I prefer. Your speedy reply is most appreciated.

Section breaks "IS" the easy way The other ways are much more of a
fiddle

Thanks. I thought it might have to be Section Breaks, but hoped there might
