I understand what you are saying. Here is why this would help out
tremendously.

New user comes to the firm. Logs in. I forget to change the page setup to
1" all the way around. Then this person has a 1.25 when others have 1".

Or...

Problem comes along. I have to recreate the normal.dot. Margins are reset
to the default of 1" and 1.25". I either have to set them or I forget to and
then they call me later, or not call me and deal with the problem.

Since this process happens so often, I need to just set a (this is a law
firm) firm policy of the computers automatically checking and making sure
that the margins are at 1" all the way around, and if not change them.

As far as making templates. We have a custom menu with about 50 macros and
templates to do what you are speaking of. Being able to change this default
would be tremendous as I am the only IT support for 80 people.

Thank you and please tell me if there is a way to do so

You don't want to do anything that affects users' Normal.dot. For company
documents that have to have a specific format you should be creating and
distributing specific document templates.

Has anyone found out, or is there a way, how to set the margins of word
globally throughout a company? Whehter it be group policy, regitry
setting,
or anything else? I know that the setting is stored in the normal
template
but that get recreated and so on.
