Paper size in Word
My new computer came with Word 2003 installed. The paper size has been set at
11.69w by 16.54h. When I try to change it in page set up it will always revert back and message says "increasing the R margin will caue the last columt to become too narrow. The margins are set as follows: top 1", bottom 1", right and left sides .5". -- jsm |

Paper size in Word
Go to Format | Columns and check the preset picture for One, OK. If that
solves the problem in one document, you'll also need to make the change in Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.

Paper size in Word
I reset the columns to one, so now the page is 6 inches wide. Can't get it to
8 1/2 inches. How do I change it in Normal? -- jsm "jsm" wrote: My new computer came with Word 2003 installed. The paper size has been set at 11.69w by 16.54h.

Paper size in Word
Is it the paper that's 6" wide or the margin width? On the Paper tab of the
File | Page Setup dialog, set the paper size to Letter, then set your margins as needed on the Margins tab. -- Suzanne S.

Paper size in Word
I have tried to set the paper size to letter, but it will not take it. It is
set at "custom" 11-- wide by 16---high. I click appy from this moment on and default, but no dice. I immediately get the message about changing the right margin which would make it too narrow. the right margin is set at .5. I have checked the printer properties and it looks like it is set to letter size. English (United States ) is the language selected. Normal is the word listed at the top. -- jsm "Suzanne S.

Do you experience the same problem if you start in Safe Mode (press and hold
Ctrl while Word is loading)? -- Suzanne S.

No, opening in safe mode seems to correct the problem, but it goes back when
I open Word normally. So, do I always have to open it in Safe Mode? -- jsm "Suzanne S.

No, but if it works properly in Safe Mode, then you know the problem is with
Normal.dot, an add-in, the Registry, or the printer driver (my bet would be on the last). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm for steps to troubleshoot each. -- Suzanne S.
