Section break adjusts margin
I set my Word 2003 document margins to 0.12", 0.5", 0.25" and 0.25" (my
printer's minimums) so I could create a landscape trifold flyer. I needed to insert a section break and when I did so, the side margin changed to 0.5". None of my graphics in this 1/2" space will print. If I change the paper size from Letter to Legal, Word allows me to use the 0.12" margin, but this throws my columns in Section 2 out of whack. Any idea how I can get my original margin settings back? P.S. I have never had this problem with previous documents. |

Section break adjusts margin
Hi ?B?S1JCIC0gR3VlbHBo?=,
I set my Word 2003 document margins to 0.12", 0.5", 0.25" and 0.25" (my printer's minimums) so I could create a landscape trifold flyer. I needed to insert a section break and when I did so, the side margin changed to 0.5". None of my graphics in this 1/2" space will print. If I change the paper size from Letter to Legal, Word allows me to use the 0.12" margin, but this throws my columns in Section 2 out of whack. Any idea how I can get my original margin settings back? P.S. I have never had this problem with previous documents. There's a chance this document's internal structures have been damaged... First thing I'd try would be to save the document in the XML file format. Close it. Open it again. Any change? If that doesn't help, then I wouldn't waste any more time "fiddling" with it. I'd create a new file. Insert the necessary section breaks. Make the sections settings (margins, columns, page layout) then copy the text across (without the section breaks or the last paragraph mark).

Section break adjusts margin
Thanks, but this isn't the only document affected by this problem.
I'm doing a series of documents where the front of the document has very small margins (to make room for graphics, etc.), but the back has default print margins. I've tried recreating the file, but it didn't help. It seems to make no difference if I work in landscape or portrait, as soon as I create the section break, the smallest margin in Section 1 changes to 0.5", which is much too big. What really confuses me is that changing the paper type in Section 1 from Letter to Legal eliminates the problem (i.e. the smallest margin remains at its original size). Weird, huh?
