Strange new document settings
Whenever I open a new document, it starts with really strange settings. The
paper size is 13.16"x18". The top and bottom margins are 0" and the side margins are 0.1". There's an indent of 0.65" on both sides, plus the usual first line indent. Is there any way to change the defaults? Because I don't want my professors to get upset if I forget to change one of the settings to what it should be. |

Strange new document settings
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. Although the
article talks about having text stuck in the Normal.dot template, in your case it's formatting. The solution is the same -- rename or move Normal.dot and let Word build a new one for you. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. darklyndsea wrote: Whenever I open a new document, it starts with really strange settings.

Strange new document settings
Unfortunately, deleting or renaming normal.dotm just causes it to be replaced
by a new normal.dotm which is exactly the same; however, the other method on that page worked. I just hope I didn't miss anything.
