[Solved] Section for photos with different margins

Post by serenejean »

I want to add a section at the end of a book for photos which needs to have NARROWER margins. The Section options don't seem to refer to margins, only Indents.
Thank you for any help. I have spent hours trying to find how to do this.

I think you're going to have to set a different STYLE for the section where you want the pictures.
Different styles can have different margins.
I can access this area through Format -> Styles & Formatting (F11)

A different Page Style will allow you change the margin settings for pages of that style. The page can have the same overall dimensions.
As RusselB says , set this with /Format /Styles and Formatting.

I've done a small dummy run and that works! I've not used Page Styles before so this will be a new learning exercise. Thank you!
