How do I restore the original margin settings? crystal420 5/2/2006 9:00:02 PM I was playing around and I think I set the margin setting all wonky. Could someone tell me what the original page margins are? I would be appreciative.

Re: How do I restore the original margin settings? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 5/2/2006 10:28:32 PM For U.S. Letter, 1.25" left and right, 1" top and bottom, 0.5" header and footer; for A4, I believe the equivalent in cm. One way to get back to the default margins temporarily, just so you can see what they are, is to start Word with the /a switch or (in recent versions) pressing Ctrl while loading. This loads Word in Safe Mode, with the default Normal.dot. If you have made no other modifications you want to save, you can rename Normal.dot, and Word will generate a fresh factory-default copy; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm -- Suzanne S.
