word 2003 when i start word up it starts with a horizontally split page that
is square and says that there are two pages per sheet. if I try to change it to normal it tells me 'increasing right margin causes last column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns' ok well it is not ok but there is only the one button to press. The only way I can get a A4 page in portrait is to load an old letter and wipe all the info. If I change the margins in the page set up box to the ones being used by the old page I've just uploaded it still gives me the previous note and refuses to go into normal A4 portrait. I have tried saving the made A4 page and exiting the word program with it up and clearing formats from the edit pull down, I have even wiped office off my computer and reloaded it but it is still the same. Can anyone shine a light on the problem please? -- Thanks Bob |

Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One, OK. Then try
resetting the Page Setup. If this works in a single document, you'll need to make the change in Normal.dot (you can change the Page Setup using the Default... button in the dialog, but you have to open Normal.dot to make the change in the Columns dialog); see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne, I am sorry your first response isn't on my reply page but the
second one is and is a perfect answer to my problem thankyou for your time and the solution. I went to the web site you gave me and couldn't believe how easy it was. I was unaware that the document automatically loads NORMAL.DOT as your template but I have changed it and might even experiment with giving me different documents from there thanks again. -- Thanks Bob "Suzanne S.
