Different format on 2nd page

[Julie]

Hi;

I know how to use section breaks, but not sure what to do
about this problem.

Our company uses a Letterhead template. They have just
redesigned it where we have a text box in the 1st page
header (address and so forth down the left side of the
page) which requires us to have 2" left margins so the
body of the letter doesn't run into our text box in the
header. So far so good. Now, they think the 2nd and 3rd
pages of our letters look funny, and they want those pages
to have the regular 1" left margin. How can I force the
first page of the template to have a 2.35 inch left
margin, and then when text wrapps to the 2nd page, have a
1" left margin?


If you can figure this out you are pretty smart. Thanks

Hi Julie,

Make a copy of your template to experiment with. Open your copy, open the
first page header and right-click on the border of the text box (click in
the text box first to get the border to show if you have no border). Select
the Format Text Box option. Go to the layout tab and set it to have text
wrap around it. Make sure the text box goes all the way down the left
margin. Close the header view.

Set the margins for what you want your second-page margins to be. The
textbox will cause the first page to avoid your letterhead rather than
overwriting it.

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.
<URL: http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm> This gives
step-by-step instructions.

You may want to download the letterhead system from:

This may not be the best way to set up letterhead, but it is a way that
works for me. It consists of modular components so that changes to a
letterhead are reflected in all form documents created from then on while
documents that were created earlier remain unchanged.

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.
