section breaks, orientation and margins
I am not working with sections....just a new word document. When I try to
change the orientation from Landscape to Portrait, I get messge"Increasing right margin causes las column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns....."

section breaks, orientation and margins
Is this a glitch of Word 2003 and is there a Patch or some kind of "fix".

section breaks, orientation and margins
In that case, go to Format | Columns and click on the preset labeled One
(this is different from just selecting 1 as the number of columns). If that corrects the issue in the present document, then you will need to make the same change in Normal.dot (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm). -- Suzanne S.

section breaks, orientation and margins
The Format/columns worked and am able to work now. Thank you. I did try to
follow the directions regarding Normal.dot but was unable to do so.....found no files for normal.dot. Found a normal.bin and normal.fmt. Not very experienced with computers and just quit....I know, you can't hurt it...believe me when I say I can tear up a ball bearing! I have windows XP and Word 2003-if you could "walk" me thru it, I'd be eternally grateful. B "Suzanne S.
