Borders problem
Hi,
I am working on a document which now has about 80 pages. Since a couple of days, I have the following two problems: Problem 1: I can no more modify anything in the borders and shading dialogue. If I hit any button, I get the error message "The measurement must be between 1 pt and 31 pt". It does not matter which of the 3 tabs currently is active. All result in the same error message. Problem 2: When I want to print the document, I get the following warning: "The page borders of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?". This warning shows up for the number of pages available... The following could be found out: - The same actions work well in a newly created document, based on the normal.dot template - Copy / paste all text from the erroneous document into this blank document causes the error - Creating a document template from the erroneous document and builing a new document based on the new built template produces the same error Workarounds I found: Problem 1 can be worked around in altering the table in a blank document. When all modifications are completed, the table can be copied back to the erroneous document Problem 2 can be worked around in printing to a PDF (PDFCreator 0.9). From the PDF, I can then print to the printer. Switching the default printer to PDFCreator does not solve the problem. Any hints? The print approach works relatively easy. However, as I have a number of tables in my document, this error is time consuming. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Borders problem
Jay,
Perfect! It worked storing it as a web page, reload and save as a word document again. When I converted the document to the web page, I got the warning from word: "Some of the features in this document aren't supported by Web browsers." -- Text in the left margin will move to the right (13 times used). This might have been a cause Thank you very much for the pointer! M Jay Freedman wrote: It sounds like you have a mildly corrupted document.
