Default Page Settings Change

Sounds like (a) the pasted text included a section break or (b) the envelope
document was completely empty and the pasted text included the final
paragraph mark of another document. Either of these will bring
document/section-level formatting with it.

I set up a page as a #10 envelope, landscape with a left margin of 3.5"

and a
top margin of 2", so when I paste an address in the document it will

appear
in the center

When I open the document, everything looks fine but if I paste an address

on
the document (using a macro), suddenly the margins change and the text is

now
at the top left! In fact, upon examining "Page Setup", the envelope is no
longer an envelope, but a letter size page with regular margins. Somehow,
something always changes the page size and margins.

Any suggestions or ideas?
