I have a multi-page document and want to change the margins of just one page,
how do I accomplish this without changing the margins on other pages

In most cases, you'll need to insert Next Page section breaks on either side
of it. But it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you just want
to change the side margins, you may be able to accomplish this with
paragraph indents (positive or negative). And if the page in question is the
first page (especially of letterhead), see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for a different approach.

Hi Suzanne

Thanks for your help. I have followed your advise, however I dont seem to
able to limit the change of margin to just the one page I am conserned with.
My problem is that I have a 5000 word essay that I am writing and on page
four I have to insert a document. The document that I have to insert was
developed using Microsoft publisher. Although I have managed to insert the
document it looks slightly smaller than I would like. To expand it to the
correct size I need to modify the margins just on this one page, when I
change the margins to accomodate the document each of the following page
margins are altered.

I would be grateful for any help with this.

All the best

I'm guessing your Publisher document was saved as a picture. If this is the
case, you don't need to change the margins at all. When you insert a
picture in Word, it will be inserted In Line With Text by default and will
be constrained by the page margins. Unless you change all the margins to 0"
(and Word will holler if you do that), you won't be able to expand it to a
full page.

What you should do instead is change the text wrapping to In Front of Text.
Then go to Format Picture and, on the Size tab, change the size to 100%. On
the Layout tab, click Advanced, and set the position as Top relative to Page
and Left relative to Page. This will allow your picture to fill the page.
