Default Margin change for selected text in Word 7

Hi! I want to use a different margin for selected text in my document. I thought I knew how to do it but I ran into a problem. I am using MS Word 7. My document has 1" margins and I selected a paragraph to have 1 1/2 " margins. What I did was selected the text that I wanted to change. Then I clicked on the Layout tab. Then I choose Margins, then Custom Margins. On the margin screen I changed the left and right margin, then I clicked Apply to: Selected Text. Now I hit OK. The margins did change for the selected text, but the paragraph was moved to the next page. Now I have a half page gap between the text in my document and the selected text. How do I get rid of that half page gap?

Any ideas?
