Back to default margins "Doug Mc" <dnmcnNOSPAM[ at ]comcast.net> 10/21/2008 9:36:11 PM I created a custom document and, in the process, reset the margins. It had a different size, etc. Now, when I open for a new document I get an 8 1/2 X 11 size but the margins are all fouled up. I can't find a way to reset them to the default margins. Thanks for your help, Doug

Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10/21/2008 10:23:54 PM In a new Blank Document, without changing anything else, go to the Margins tab of Page Setup and set your desired margins (the defaults for Word 2003 are 1.25" left and right, 1" top and bottom). Then click the Default... button and answer Yes to the ensuing dialog. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm -- Suzanne S.

It must be there but they hid it pretty well. Doug "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> wrote in message news:ewRiYy8MJHA.3496[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
