After saving an omnipage 14 OCR doc in word I attempted to modify the page
size [page setup] but get an error:

Column widths cannot be less than .5€�

This happens whether applying to a section or the whole doc. Any ideas?

Click the ¶ button (CTRL+*) and see what mess of formatting Omnipage has
created.
Try selecting the document and re-apply 1 column to the whole.
You might find it easier to output plain text from Omnipage and reformat
from scratch.

Actually, I have done it [again] and nothing seems messy from what I can
see. The worst thing OP seems to do is to put [some of the] text/or graphics
into frames.

Try selecting the document and re-apply 1 column to the whole.

tried all sorts of things [not just with columns] with formatting columns
but still get the error

thought of it but it looks like it will take me 60-80 hours. very
unappetizing.

ps am using 2003 on XP if it should matter

Unfortunately even the best OCR applications are poor when it comes to
retaining Word format - once you need to edit the results.

I'm not sure what I did but have succeeded in changing the page size. I
believe that it was connected to finding a section that had newspaper columns
and reverting that section to single column.

thanks
