Landscape vs. portrait not changing
Whenever I start a new document in MS Word 2003, the paper is set to
landscape and the margins are set as if the paper was in portrait format. When I go to Page Setup and change the orientation back to portrait and click on "OK", I get the following message "Increasing right margin causes last column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns." I am just typing a basic one column file, nothing fancy. I click on the DEFAULT button on the page setup window, and it won't let me. If I try to mouse over the margin area between the white and blue area, it won't let me change the margins that way either. I also can only type one page of information. If I have more information, the text disappears. A second page does not begin. Is there any way that I can "reset" the settings Microsoft Word? |

Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One, then OK. If
this solves the problem in the current document, then you'll need to make the change in Normal.dot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.
