Can't change margins

Greets!
I'm working on a business letter, and want/need to change the margins.
I started with an older letter from an earlier version of Word,
modified the text, and then tried to change the margins.

I go to Format-Document to the margins window, and even though I enter
the new margins, nothing changes. I tried copying and pasting the text
into a new document with the correct margins, but the margins went with
the text.

I work with a number of templates that I have set up, and have not had
this problem starting either from scratch or from a template. I don't
think I've had this problem when modifying an existing document before
either, even going across Word versions.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

It stands to reason that if you can save content changes, margin
settings should not be a problem. Have you tried resetting the margins
using the ruler? What happens there? Are there any Section Breaks in
the doc?

You might try the copy routine again, but _don't_ include the last
paragraph marker when you copy.

Regards |:>)

Doesn't work with the ruler either. No section breaks. I'll try the
copy and paste thing and see.

Thx!
