No, it means that Word has hit a little glitch. Go to Format | Columns, make
sure that "Whole document" is selected in "Apply to," and click on the One
box (even if it appears to be selected already), then OK.

Hi all,
I tried to follow your advice: goto tools / Columns, but:
- I can not change the width, it swapps back to initial setting
- the box is grey, I can not change the width
- Even if I try to select from here a new width, the command is
refused.
I think I have missed some basic.
Regards
Georg

I did not suggest changing the width. I said to check the box labeled One
under Presets at the top of the Columns dialog.
