Page Setup May Not Apply to Whole Document or Other Sections
ID: Q82182

The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you change section formatting in the
Page Setup dialog box and later try to reapply these settings using
the Whole Document option or the This Point Forward option, the box
containing the settings is cleared. To successfully apply the page
setup formatting to subsequent sections or the whole document, you
must first retype or re-select the settings. If you do not re-select
the settings, Word does not apply the formatting to the designated
sections in the Apply To box.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- From the File menu, choose New, and choose the OK button to open a
new document based on NORMAL.DOT.
- From the Insert menu, choose Break. Select Continuous in the
Section Break box, then choose the OK button.
- Position the insertion point in the first section. From the File
menu (Format menu in Word 2.0), choose Page Setup.
- Select the Margins option button.
- Change the top margin from its current setting. For example, select
.50 for this setting. Verify that the Apply To box has This Section
selected, and choose the OK button.
- From the File menu (Format menu in Word 2.0), choose Page Setup.
Select Whole Document in the Apply To box.
The top margin setting is cleared. If you choose the OK button at this
point, the .50 setting is NOT applied to the whole document. You must
re-select .50 in the Top box or manually type the setting to apply
this setting to the entire document.
Note: This behavior occurs in all three page setup categories
(margins, size and orientation, and paper source settings).
