Column setting won't adjust
I'm using Word 2000. I have a template that I have somehow managed to
screw up. I can't figure out how to repair it. Somehow, I have set something that keeps the column width (the entire document is one section formatted as one column) for adjusting when I switch from portrait to landspace orientation. With most of my documents, if I switch to landscape, the column width changes to match the margin settings. For this one template, it won't. Which setting got changed? Thanks -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

Column setting won't adjust
Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One, making sure
that "Apply to" is set to "Whole document." This will check the "Equal column width" box, which is the missing ingredient. -- Suzanne S.

I fiddled around with those settings 5-6 times and I thought I tried that, but obviously I didn't. Is this a common problem? I search the MVP website and didn't find anything. I used the search phrases: "column width won't adjust" and "column width text border adjust" and so forth. -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

Column setting won't adjust
This solution to many related problems has been posted numerous times in
various NGs. One Word MVP (garfield-n-odie) has some boilerplate about it. -- Suzanne S.
