Margins or columns problem
Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this issue I am having with my Word 2003 program. For some reason, every time I start a blank document, there is .5'' space on the right margin. I have it all set at 1'' margins on all sides yet when the type reaches the right margin, it stops .5'' short of the right margin. Now, I have figured out the reason for this (I think). The problem is corrected if I format my columns to be be one column. It gives me the ..5'' then. Before I click the one column preset setting, it says that the columns are set for 6''. Is there any way to change what the default column width is? I am sick of having to do this every time. Thanks for any help you can give! |

You need to open Normal.dot (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm), choose One in the Columns dialog there, OK out, press Spacebar, then Backspace, then save Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.
