Default headers

I read through that painful mess of overkill and still have not found an
answer for changing margins.
I switched to PageMaker - no issues there!

You want First Page header turned on. Use content to determine it's
size
rather than resetting the header margins

That helped! However, now how do I set different margins for different

pages
in a template? I want the first page to have a 2" margin and all other

pages
to have a 1" top margin. How do I get that done?

thanks!

Almost there....

I put a logo on the first page that requires the header to be 1.5"

high.
I just want the company name on subsequent pages, which requires the
header only be .5" high. I have the logo in place and also the company
name. But when I change the vertical height of one header, the other

also
changes. How can I get them to be totally independent?

thanks!

Go to the end of your template, use the menu INSERT BREAK, PAGE
BREAK.
Be sure you are in the second page of your template and use the menu
VIEW, HEADER & FOOTER. Find the buttons with the little arrowheads.

You
should be able to move between the first page header and the header
with those buttons.

The above assumes that you have properly use the "Use different first
page" header/footer button on the PAGE SETUP, LAYOUT menu. Word
assumes that if you click the button that *both* a separate 1st page
header *and* footer will be used. You can't specify only a 1st page
header, but uniform footer.

It is not a mess, but a very comprehensive article on a difficult subject.
And it does give you the answer. Enjoy PageMaker. It is a wonderful program,
but not very practical for producing letters in an office environment.

comprehensive article on a difficult subject
Stop it! After I figured out how to do two different headers, the actual
steps could have been broken down to a half-dozen or so bullet items. That's
all that's needed. For those that would like to wonder off into drifting
thoughts, you could have put the other 22 paragraphs of creative writing at
the bottom of the page. It was not my intention to insult.
Live well!

Suzanne answers many questions on these newsgroups and likes to provide
complete answers rather than dribble information out. People asking
questions like this have widely varying skill levels and experience. I'm
sorry you feel like it was a waste of your time.
