RE: Page size in Word

["Fred Ridder" <docudoc -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

The Maggie maneuver does not require you to retag everything.
When you use the technique, you copy everything except the
very last pilcrow (which can be an empty paragraph) and paste
it into a clean document. All the paragraph-level and character-
level formatting remains intact. What you're leaving behind is
the document-level formatting, which includes the page layout
(page size, margins, columns, headers/footers) among lots of
other things.

Just remember that for this to be completely successful, you
need to do this on a section-by-section basis in file with multiple
section, because the same kind of corrupted or out-of-control
stuff can be embedded in the section break symbols (the double
dotted dividing lines) as in the end-of-dcument pilcrow.
