Different Margins in Word
If you find this tip helpful:
Have you ever wanted to have one page in your
Word document with one margin and on a second page another
margin? Frequently, companies need to use this with a two
page letter head or proposals with a cover letter.
 If
on page 1 you want a 2 inch top margin for your letter head
and on page 2 you want a 1 inch margin. Here is what you
need to do.
At the bottom of page 1 where the
text breaks before going to page 2. Go to on the menu bar
click Insert – Break. Choose Next
Page Break from the options. This is a section break.
A section break tells Word that you want this part of the
document to have different properties from other sections
or parts of the document. For example, margins or different
heaters and footers.
Now that you have 2 sections in your document
you can adjust the margins. On page 1 go to File
– Page Set-up. Click in the top margin change
it to 2” and choose the option in the box at the bottom
to apply changes to This Section. Now if you need to adjust
the second page or section 2 all you need to do is be on
that page and do the same thing.
