PeeGeeBee Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Is there a way to override the margins on a single page? In InDesign, I could, if necessary, just select and move any of a given page's margins, to override the document margin. Can I do this in Publisher? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 On the Pages panel, right (or CTRL) click on the desired page or Master page & select "Spread Properties" & in the dialog that opens, select the "Margins" tab. There you can change the margin settings for that page or Master page. More about this in the Margins help topic.

PeeGeeBee Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 @R C-RThanks for your kind reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to change anything for me. Maybe I haven;t explained the issue properly. I have a Master Page, with a text box (the full size of the page margins, and text is flowing through the series of pages based on same. On just one of these I would like to 'break' the text box margin, but I can't find a way to select and change the width of the text box margin. I hope that's clearer. I did try as you suggested, first reducing and then increasing the outer margin number, but neither seemed to make a difference to the text box margin on the page in question. Is there a way to 'select' that, one a page-at-a-time basis, and manipulate? Many thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you want to do is not to change the page margins but the size (?) of a text frame set up in a Master page on just a selected page. If this is so, I think what you want to do is use "Edit Detached" on the master layer of that document page. If this is not what you mean, can you post a simple Affinity format document with the master & a few document pages in it, set up as in the one you are having problems with, or at least a screenshot showing the expanded Layers panel for that document page?

PeeGeeBee Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Ah, fantastic! 'Edit Detached' is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! R C-R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
