Normal
I would like to be able to edit the normal document ---
the one that appears on the screen when you first open Word 2000. It now opens in what it says is 11 point Arial, but is nothing like 11 point type. What I want is for it to open with a different top margin, a different type face and different font size. Is there a safe way to make these changes? Thanks for the help. |

Hi, yes you can your default settings that you wish to use. First for the
margins: to do that open the page set up dialog box set your margins and click the defaults button at the bottom of this dialog box. It will remain that way. For the font, click: the format menu, style and a dialog box opens, the click the "format" button and choose "font" option then set it up the way you want it. Or you open the font dialog box the font and size you want and click the default button then OK.
