Hi powerfulwhite,

IIRC, the problem usually only occurs in mult-Section documents and is affected by margins sizes. What error message does Word give?

If you don't need the multiple Sections, you could try deleteing all Section breaks (using Find/Replace, where Find = ^b), then do the formatting. The alternative is to re-format the Sections one at a time (or in groups) until you find the one causing problems.
