Margins not universal

Does anyone know how to have the defined margins hold true throughout an
entire document for Word 2002 on an XP platform?

The number of lines of text per page vary throughout a document, even though
the font is the same?!

Please help.

Unless the doc has been specifically structured using section breaks the
margin settings *are* "universal" - "hold true" from beginning to end. The
number of lines per page can still vary based on numerous other factors,
such as changes in line spacing, spacing between paragraphs, Widow/Orphan
control, etc.

If you can more accurately describe the situation & what you are hoping to
attain in its place, I'm sure someone will be glad to offer some useful
suggestions.

CyberTaz,

Thanks for the information, but the problem relates to a definite structure.
I set the overall document to be an 6" x 9" size sheet with specific
margins. I maintain a font style usage of the Garamond font style at a 12
point size, with left and right justification. The problem that occurs, is
that on one page I will have, let's say 50 lines to text, on another page I
will have 49 or 48, even though nothing has changed in regards to the
structure of the margins, text style, text font size, or sheet size.

If you haven't already, have a look at the article referenced by Suzanne in
her reply to your original message. I believe you'll find an answer there:)

I have read the referenced-article (id est the blow-off) and it basically
rectified the problem in no way whatsoever. Again, the problewm is that the
document has been set with a specific structure; 6"x9" with 3/4" margines (id
est 0.75) and I will have one page with, let's say 59 lines of text, whereas
another page will have 60 or 61?

If the problem is a design flaw, please let me know. It is alright to admit
that the designers and/or prgrammers had made a mistake. It's called life.

Read the article again; it is not a "blow-off"; it's an explanation. If you
have not disabled "Widow/orphan control" in Normal style, that alone will
account for what you're seeing.

Suzanne, thank you for being a little more specific in your recommendation,
though, even after I have set the window/orphan feature as off, I am still
experiencing a similar problem on nearly half of the 160 total pages?!

Suzanne,

Thank you. What I didn't initially realize is that I needed to highlight
the etnire document for the option to cover the entire document.
