Unable to set margins to default causing page break problems.
When using Microsoft Word I am unable to continue typing to the next page. I
don't believe it has anything to do with page break. I think it has to do with the margins. When I go into FILE, PAGE SET UP, MARGINS and try to default margins it won't allow me to default and an error message pops up. |

Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One; click OK.

Just to clarify - the Default button in the Margins page of Page Setup does
*not* restore the document margins to default settings. It *stores* the settings currently dislayed in the dialog as the defaults for any new documents you create from then on. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "nbj4vr" wrote in message ...

Susan -- you are a lifesaver. I've been struggling with this issue for a
year. Now my frustration is over. Many thanks. -- Kabir "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One; click OK. -- Suzanne S.

Unable to set margins to default causing page break problems.
It's a very bizarre bug caused by "Equal column width" not being enabled. If
you create multiple columns using the Columns button on the toolbar in some earlier Word versions, that check box is not checked, and you can end up with unequal columns, one of which is the margin width, leaving nowhere for the rest of the columns to go. This has even more bizarre results in portrait documents in which text is visible in Normal view but disappears in Print Layout view because it's forced into a column that has zero width. -- Suzanne S.

Note that if you have the same problem in new documents, you'll need to do
this in Normal.dot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.
