AFAIR, you may not _define_ margins after the beginning of document, but you may _change_ existing values, e.g. (in ERT) \addtolength{\topmargin}{0.5in} on page 1 \addtolength{\topmargin}{-0.5in} on page 2. Is this OK ? -- Jean-Pierre PS 1 I guess it's not easy because it is not a "normal" practice to change page layout so directly. PS 2 There is a fancyplain option which make plain title pages (chapter title pages in a report or book) and fancy other pages. Don't know if it helps there either (I use this to avoid running headers on chapter title pages).
