Default margins for a custom size page

I am using Word student addition, 2003
I want to print up pages for a cookbook with these deminstions:
Page size 6.5 width 9.75 length
Margins:
top 1" bottom 1"
left 1.5" right 1"
I keep getting the dreaded message "One or more margins are set outside the
printable area of the page. Choose the fix button to increase the appropriate
margins. When I chose the fix option, the margins go to:
top 1" bottom 3.71"
left 1.33" right 1.30"
Obviously these are not what I am seeking. Plese assist me.

That error message is sometimes misleading. Try whether the following solves
the problem:

Select Format Columns. In the "Apply to" field, make sure "Whole document"
is selected. Clict the "One" icon (even if it is selected). Click OK.
