That is not necessary. I read these posts with a newsreader (Thunderbird) in the newsgroup[1][2].

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't like e-mail subscription lists (or online forums). I prefer to read newsgroups in a newsgroup (see above). ;-)

Is there a way to change the page margin of the second page in a Microsoft Word 
document using LibreOffice? (I have to keep this document in Word *.doc)

When I change the margin via "Page Style" or "Insert Manual Break" the margins 
will revert once I save, close, and re-open to document.

I need to have a smaller margin on the second page because the corporate 
letterhead of the first page has a large footer; and the letterhead for the 
second (and subsequent) page has no footer, and I need to be able to use the 
extra available space on the second page.

Any help would be much appreciated...

If I understand correctly, you have a first page of a letter with letterhead information 
at the foot of the page.  I wonder if some information appears as a header, for instance 
the name of the company or "From the desk of" which is the same on all pages?

If this is the case, I think you can do this with a simple template, in which 
you turn on the footer and include your company information there, and mark the 
footer to be on page one only, but I'm not sure about exactly which steps you 
need to take to achieve this effect.

Hopefully the template experts will be hard on my heels to assist.

I'll try to follow your suggestion of using footers to workaround this limitation. Now I need to figure out how to define different footer sizes for different pages...

Thanks for the pointer! :-)
