I need to make a section of my WORD2000 document landscape format.

In page setup I click on the page layout for the section, but I always get a
message that "Settings you chose for the left and right margins, column
spacing, or paragraph indents are too large for the page width in some
sections."

I don't really understand what is triggering this. I am converting a section
from portrait to landscape, so the page is getting wider. I've tried
adjusting the settings, but have not found the magic formula yet.

Any ideas?
