No matter what I do, I can't change the margins on my document. However, if I create a new document it works. I have no idea why I can't change it on my old document. I made 200+ pages already. I don't want to start over.

Hi @thepaperwings ,

and you may apply the parent page again in case the margins were changed on the pages themselves.

Document Setup only creates margins as a starting point. If you have since altered any parameters on the Parent Pages or directly at a page level, Document Setup will no longer make a difference. You instead need to select the appropriate Parent Pages and adjust margins there, or if just for one page, while that specific page is selected; under Layout > Margins and Columns
