Landscape/Portrait settings

  • Follow


Hi. 
For some reason when I open a blank document page it opens in landscape. 
(Never used to) When I try to change it to portrait I get the error message 
increasing right margin causes last column to become to narrow.....Can anyone 
tell me what is going on please?

You can avoid the error message by going to Format | Columns and clicking on 
the preset picture for One. This checks the "Equal column width" box, which 
allows the (single) column width to be changed from the default (for 
portrait) 6" to whatever the distance between side margins is. Since this 
affects all new documents, you'll need to make this change in the Normal 
template; at the same time, you can change from Landscape to Portrait. If 
you need help finding the Normal template, see
