Word layout puzzle
A co-worker created a document from scratch. He initially modified page
setup to 1" margins top / bottom and 0.5"margins left / right in landscape. The document has one long table nine pages long. After OK'ing the Page Setup, he went back into page setup, and the margins are ALL set back back to defaults. He can reset the margins, but every time he goes back to page setup, it is reset to its defaults. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? The document was created in Office 2000; however the same thing occurs in my Office 2003. Solutions I've tried: 1) I can still open other documents just fine. 2) If I delete EVERYTHING in the document and save it, repeat the page setup margin etc., close it and open it again and everything is still reset. 3) If I cut the entire table and paste it into a new document, the problem still recurs. BTW: I can't use Word help because Word displays the help in an incredibly small font which is unreadable. Thanks Microsoft!! My last ditch solution will be to save it as a text file and reformat the entire document. |

Go to ViewText Size and make the Text Size larger. Now open up Word Help. (Not that it will do you any good trying to figure out your margin problem....) |

Son of a gun - that works for making the text readable. Thanks
I finally exported the document to RTF file and reimported and the problem went away. If the file was corrupted, Word gave no indication. I'm saving the file for posterity in the hopes of still figuring this one out. "AA" wrote in message ...
