Did not work. Do I highlight whole doc & set left & right margins? Then in
page set up (for print) it shows it is in landscape (do I change to
portrait). When I change paper size in page set up it says 'margins are
outside area. Do you want us to fix it?" Either way, document appears one
letter at a time on left side vertically down thousands of pages. Thanks for
your anticipated reply. I really need your help!

Created a 31 page text document on 16W x 11L format. Set the margins
so that just left side of page has text. I need the text on 8 x 11
paper. Thought I could cut & paste text on new 8 x 11 document, but
24 hours later, still can't do it. HELP! Tried to make 2 columns
(to highlight left column & paste) but each word came vertical and
had over 2000 pages! Just want what is on half the page, but my
scizzors can't cut the page in vertical half!
The first thing you must do is set the document's margins back to the
default, or something near it -- 1" or 1.25". The text width will
temporarily become about 14", but don't worry about it.
Now change the paper size to Letter (8.5" x 11") or your custom 8" x 11".
