I cannot set my margins not will it accept the default margin. When ever I
attemp to set the margin this is the error message that I receive:
"increasing right margin causes last column to become too narrow in some
sections having unevenly spaced columns."

The margin is set at 0.04 left and right and will not accept changes. Can
you help?

Select the entire document. Go to Format | Columns and click on the preset
picture for One, then OK. Now try again.
 
Thank you so much. That works for an existing document but whenI try to
create a new document the documents opens in landscape and I need to change
the default setting for all documents. Can you help or any suggestions?
 
In a new document based on Normal.dot, without making any other changes,
change the page orientation from Landscape to Portrait, click Default...,
and answer yes. If you have the same problems with these documents (caused
by the unequal columns widths), find and open Normal.dot (instructions at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm) and perform the
same operation (clicking the One preset in the Columns dialog) there, then
save.
 
Suzanne,
