A4 docs vs Letter size docs
My computer refuses to make A4 the default for documents and converts
everything to Letter size even when i start over from a blank document. It's complaining about uneven column spacing and margins being too big. It's driving me round the bend!!! |

A4 docs vs Letter size docs
Change the Windows regional settings from US to a country that uses A4 such
as UK. Then if necessary see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Julia wrote: My computer refuses to make A4 the default for documents and converts everything to Letter size even when i start over from a blank document.

A4 docs vs Letter size docs
For the first problem, just select A4 in the Page Setup dialog, click
Default..., and answer yes. It helps to also have A4 set as the default in your printer Properties. The error messages, however, suggest another problem. Go to Format | Columns and click on the One icon (even if it appears to be already selected), making sure that "Whole document" is selected under "Apply to." If this solves the problem in one document, you'll need to make the same change in Normal.dot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.
