The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a
- Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1
SYMPTOMS
If you select the letterhead option when running the Letter Wizard and
create a letter that exceeds one page, the second and subsequent pages will
retain the large (2-inch) top margin.
CAUSE
The Wizard uses one of three templates when creating a letter. Each
template is defined so that the top margin is set for the entire document.
This behavior is by design.
WORKAROUND
After you complete your letter, you can modify the top margin for the
second and subsequent pages by doing the following:
- While in Normal View, locate the page break. This appears as a single
dotted line across the screen. Position your insertion point immediately
above this page break. Ensure the insertion point is at the end of a
paragraph or on a blank line at the end of the first page.
- From the Insert menu, choose Break. Under Section Breaks, select Next
Page. Choose the OK button.
This inserts a double-dotted line with the words "End of Section" above
or in place of the original page break. If the page break is one that
Word inserted automatically (a "soft" page break), the page break will
disappear. If the page break was manually inserted (a "hard" page
break), select the page break and delete it.
- Place the Insertion Point below the section break, on page 2 of the
letter, and choose Page Setup from the File menu.
- Select the Margins tab. Modify the Top Margin setting. In the Apply To
box, select either "This point forward" or "This section," and then
choose the OK button.
