Default Error Message altering margins

When changing margins throughout a document with section breaks some sections
won't allow me to change the left and right margins to 3cm each side - the
error message says that the margins are too large for the page - how can this
be?

Default Error Message altering margins

Go to Format | Columns and click on the Preset picture for One, which checks
the "Equal column width" box.

Thanks Suzanne.
The column is set at 17cm, which is clearly incorrect but it won't let me
change that either. Although, on the other pages it is set at 14cm and I can
change it. Do you have any ideas?
