trouble with setting margins

[SVHS Teacher]

report not allowing for change of margins from 2" top margin on page1 to 1"
top margin on following pages, and not allowing for a 1" bottom margin.
Have tried online and suggestions did not work. The student's report was
created at two different locations. Possible different versions of MS

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Ordinarily you can't have different margins on pages 1 and following pages
without either (a) a section break or (b) "Different first page" with space
added. Which method are you attempting to use.

 

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

Use a First Page header in which you insert the necessary space after the
paragraph to force the text in the body of the document down the additional
inch.
