Again, thank you for all responses and taking your time to resolve this.

You can't change the actual margins without adding a section break, as stated previously. But you can use a workaround.

I now get that, with Mr. Kenyon offering the workaround by using the same margins.

Word does have a vertical ruler.
|
Found it but only shows in [Word 97] Page Layout. The problem with the ruler as I see it is two rulers in one. From the top of the page to the bottom of the header it is difficult to tell what is the measurement on the ruler. From the bottom of the header down, one can take a measurement. It would be nice if word could invoke a cross hair cursor or horizontal line cursor, so one could do an easy takeoff on the ruler, as left margin separating (empty space) makes it difficult to known what is the ruler value.

Do not adjust the placement of the header. That should be the same for all pages in your document. This is a setting for the section so cannot be different on different pages within the section. Like the margins, set it once. You only want one section for all of this.

I went back and changed the header value to 1.5 inch the same as the top margin (1.5 inch), and then added the 3 paragraph symbols so looks better, but will know for sure when I print.

Please take the time to look at the linked pages.

In my defense I did, and read one or two of the provided links - internet search - before posting this thread.
Explanations were as clear as mud, hence post.

typed on typewriters with onion skin copies.

I learned to type on a manual as electric had not yet come out.
IMHO this is part of my problem. Still think I'm dealing with a typewriter at times, instead of a word processor, which has a lot more options. Knowing what those options are and how to apply them is part of the learning curve I'm climbing.
