Editing the master page
If you want to change the format
of an individual page in your
document, do not use master
page. Instead, reduce your
document to Scale to Fit in the
V iew menu, use the pointer from
the Drawing tools and select and
resize header , footer , or main
body region. This can be useful
when you want to change the size
of the footer to make room for
footnotes above it, or when you
want the margins of a particular
page to be different from the rest
of the document.

in Page Setup.

document with any changes you have made. For example, if you change
the footer, Word Processing applies that change to the footer on every
page.
