measurement between 0" and 22"
in [Page Layout]
|
From: JohnTheTemp on 18 Jan 2010 13:27 The measurement must be between 0" and 22".Word 2007, set to work in inches (and the ruler shows inches) On a particular document, two of us at different times tried to change the left/right margins from 1" to 1.25". Most of the time, Word displayed the error message: The measurement must be between 0" and 22" There were a couple random times when I was able to change the the margins without getting the error message. I saved the document and it's now set to the correct margin. However, the error message still appears when I try to switch to another tab in the "Page Layout" dialog box. I want it stopped!! The other person has already transferred the text to a fresh document. I'm going to try that again, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has encountered this problem before. Thanks for listening. -- JohnE

From: Jay Freedman on 18 Jan 2010 15:18 That message appears when Word thinks you're trying to set a page size bigger than 22", which is the maximum size Word can handle. Sometimes gremlins cause erroneous settings like that in Normal.dotm (or Normal.dot in earlier versions). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm for ways to deal with it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

From: JohnTheTemp on 18 Jan 2010 15:41 My effort to transfer the text to a fresh document seems to have worked. Still puzzled over why the margin error message kept popping up. What might it a symptom of? Only a corrupt document? -- JohnTheTemp "JohnTheTemp" wrote: > The measurement must be between 0" and 22".Word 2007, set to work in inches > (and the ruler shows inches) > > On a particular document, two of us at different times tried to change the > left/right margins from 1" to 1.25". > > Most of the time, Word displayed the error message: The measurement must be > between 0" and 22" > > There were a couple random times when I was able to change the the margins > without getting the error message.
