When I try to use VBA to change left margin in Word I get an error, if I simply drag from the ruler - no problem.
But I want to use something like
ActiveDocument.Sections(28).PageSetup.LeftMargin = 72

Run time error 5518
Increasing left margin causes first column to become too narrow some....

I have only one column

Help please



Update 1:
There are many sections in the document, I am only concerened in this example with section 28.
Its A4 Portrait Right margin normal.
The error message is the 5518 above.

What error do you get? What is the page size, orientation & right margin size? Does the document actually have 28 Sections?

This issue must in some way be related to your current page layout in that section as

ActiveDocument.Sections(1).PageSetup.LeftMargin = 72

runs without issue in a new blank document
