Thanks Stefan,
I tried this but when I tried a new document the print dialogue box
was
still set at 'Letter'

On the File menu, click Page Setup. Click the Paper Size tab.
Under
"Paper size", choose "A4". Make sure "Apply to" is set to "Whole
document", and click the Default button. If/when you are prompted
to
save
the attached template, choose to do so.

If the attached template is normal.dot, see also:
