Removing borders on every new document Mamageek2000 12/19/2008 10:30:04 PM Every time I open Word, there are dotted borders all around the page. The first line starts at the first line on the page. I can't figure out how to get the borders removed from all new documents created or opened and how to get the first paragraph to start further down on the page. My margins in Page Setup show: Top 1", Bottom 1", Left 1.25", Right 1.25", Gutter 0" (whatever that is), and Gutter position Left. Portrait orientation, Multiple Pages: Normal, Preview Apply to Whole Document, and I have clicked on the Default button, then OK, but nothing changes. HELP.
