thx Suzanne; I had tried that from the suggestion of another post. I ended
up opening a "new" doc, and then setting the columns to "one", then cut &
paste my doc into "new" doc. It worked - thx again, plib

Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset picture for One (even if you
already have 1 column selected). Then click OK. Now try again.

I changed the normal page margins when I was working on a document. I do
this
all the time, so it was no big deal. However, everytime I open a new
document
now, the right margin is at the 6 in. mark on my ruler. When I go into
the
page setup it says the margin is at 0.5 in. which is where I had it set
last.
Obviously, that's not where it is though! When I try to change it, I get
a
pop up message saying "increasing right margin causes last column to
become
too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns". Can anyone
help
me at least get the settings back to the default ones of 1.25" and 1"?

Thank you!!!!
