Somehow my Word document is formatted in a custom 6 x 4.5 format. If I go to
Page Setup and try to change it 8.5 x 11 I get a message "increasing right
margin causes last column to become too narrow in some sections having
unevenly spaced columns". No matter what I do I cannot reset the page to a
standard 8.5 x 11.

Help please!!

Go to Format | Columns and click the button for One (even if it is already
selected), making sure that "Whole document" is selected for "Apply to."
Then try again to reset your paper size.
