Choose "Next page" or "Odd page", depending on what you need. Then you can specify separate margins for the section containing the abstract. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "robsan" wrote in message news:131F7C12-541B-4863-A1D3-DA66799657D2[ at ]microsoft.com...

Format the first page with 2" indents left and right (a paragraph style is usually a good idea). Plus, set "Different First Page" in File/Page Setup/Layout and put a "box" drawing in the header and footer to enforce the margins top and bottom. 2. Insert a section break of the "Next Page" type at the end of the first page. This allows you to set separate margins for the two sections. Personally, I'd probably tend towards (1).

Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 09.08.2006 14:34:55 I'll differ with everyone else who is suggesting a section break. Unless you need a section break for other reasons, I'd just apply a 1" left and right indent to the abstract paragraph(s) or style. If you need 2" at the top as well, give the (first) abstract paragraph or (more likely) the ABSTRACT title 72 pts Spacing Before. -- Suzanne S.
