Margin Error
I cannot change anything in Page Setup without getting this error message:
"Increasing right margin causes last column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns." Just clicking OK in the Page Setup tab creates this error, without changing anything. My settings are normal, columns are not selected. I even went so far as to restore the defaults. I still get this error. This does not occur in docs that have already been saved, just when starting a new doc. I've been using MS Word since the program first came out, so I am perplexed as to why I can't resolve this issue on my own. I am using MS Windows XP Professional, version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600. |

Margin Error
The following may solve the problem:
In a new document, select Format Columns. Click the "One" icon €“ also if it is already selected. Click OK. Then try to select Page Setup again and click OK to check whether the problem is solved. If that is the case, find and open Normal.dot and make the same correction there. Save and close Normal.dot. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "teresa873" wrote: I cannot change anything in Page Setup without getting this error message: "Increasing right margin causes last column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns."

Margin Error
Selecting one column did work, but I would rather not have to repeat this
process each time I open a new document. As if I'm new to MS Word, where would I find the Normal.dot file to change that?
