In that case, go to Format | Columns and click on the preset labeled One
(this is different from just selecting 1 as the number of columns). If that
corrects the issue in the present document, then you will need to make the
same change in Normal.dot (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm).

I am not working with sections....just a new word document. When I try to
change the orientation from Landscape to Portrait, I get messge"Increasing
right margin causes las column to become too narrow in some sections
having
unevenly spaced columns....."
I have tried everything suggested here and I am still at a loss. Changing
margins doesn't work. Every document I open and created is in landscape.
I
NEED PORTRAIT. What do I do? Please Help me.

What happens if you change the last, Landscape section to Portrait
before
deleting the section break? Also, have you gone to Format | Columns and
clicked on the One button?

I have exactly the same problem as Michel. Have ALREADY tried
whatever
was
offered by others in thread, Nothing works. The last Landscape page
just
wont go away. Deleting the section break, automatically changes the
previous
portrait section to landscpae. Attempts to change it back to portrait
are
met with error message Michel mentioned. Can somebidy help???
PLease??

In such cases, however, it's easier to use Insert | File to insert
the
old
document into a fresh document based on the template containing the
styles,
especially if the new document format includes different margins,
header/footer, etc.

How are you creating the fourth section and at which point

version?
