thanks Graham,

yeah, I need A3. it usually automatically changed by following the printer
setting in old version, no? (I always do that if I want to chang the default
setting)
I need A3 because I am using MathCad12 software. It requires MathCad12 page
format to match Office word default page setting then I can save MathCad file
to *.rtf file. after that it can be opened in office word. if it is not
matching then it won't keep the original lay out in MathCad sheet. somehow, I
need A3 format.

how can I change deault setting then? because my office excel programme did
follow my printer default page setting.

You don't really want to set the page default at A3 (you did mean A3 and not
A4?) as it will have unwanted effects elsewhere. Create a blank template
with the page layout set to A3 and use that for your A3 documents.

A4 is a different issue.

as I used to use office2000 and page set up default can be
automatically changed once u changed the page size. but in 2003
version, everytime I change the page size. next time I open it , it
still went back to bloody letter size. it is very ignoring.
any help, I found the help menu is useless. I search it as default
page set up.....
