I'm running MS Word 2002. Somehow, I screwed up the paper size setting, so
that every time I open Word and get "Document1", it is set to a custom
size, rather than 8.5" X 11". I know how to change it for the current
document, but the next time I open it, I'm back into the same problem. How
do I change the default paper size for "Document1" back to 8.5" X 11" ?
Thanks very much for your help.
