How to set different page margins within the same document

Overview

In Zoho Writer, you can apply different margins to different pages by using section breaks. This is useful when you want specific pages—like a title page, appendix, or special insert—to have a layout that differs from the rest of the document.

Steps :

Step 1: Insert Section Break

  • You first need to add a section break to the page you want to add the different margins to.Place the cursor in the page you want to insert the section.

  • Select Insert → Sections & Pages → Break → Section Break → Next Page to divide your document into sections.

asas
  • Each section can have its own unique margin settings.

Step 2: Apply Custom Margins

  • With the cursor in the target section, go to Page Setup → Margins.

  • Choose a preset margin (e.g., Normal, Wide, Narrow) or select Custom Margins to define specific values.

  • These settings now apply only to the current section, preserving the layout of the rest of your document.




3. Now the margins you've chosen will only apply to the first page leaving the rest of the pages unaffected.
