When you click Columns on the
Standard toolbar, the Equal column width option is not set. The Equal column width option makes Word maintain the same width columns based on the size and orientation of the page. If this option is not set, Word may not recalculate the page layout information correctly when you change the orientation or page size.
Note This problem does not occur when you use the
Columns command on the Format menu. By default, when you use the Columns command on the
Format menu, the Equal column width option is set. Because of this, the page layout information is correctly changed when you change the orientation or page size.
