Updating INDEX leads to page margins modifications
Dear friends, who came across this, please consult me a bit. In Word 2003 (yes, I'm still using it) I have a huge text in which the index is made using INDEX and XE fields. In Page Setup, I obviously can adjust the page settings, including the size of the margins. But as soon as I update the index (by pressing F9 on it, for example), the margins within all the document are reset to the settings, which I used some time ago (1 cm from all sides). I don’t understand what is going on. If I check the "Index 1" style settings - I don’t see anything, what can affect the whole document. Please tell me where to look for the root of the problem. |

Without actually seeing the problem document, it can be difficult for anyone to diagnose the issue. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

An index may add a Word section (if the number of newspaper columns is different from that of the rest of the document), and a section may affect the margin settings.
However, as Paul suggested, it will be useful if you upload an example document for us to look at.

Is it possible you included a section break inside an XE tagged field?
