Word 2007 and text files
I've adjusted my default margins to .5", but when I open a text document
created in something like notepad, the document margins become 1". By the way I saved the .5" to my default template so new Word documents show the correct margin, only text documents do not. |

When you open a document, save by running an autoopen macro, there is
nothing that will change the margins that were used when that document was created. -- Hope this helps.

Word 2007 and text files
Thanks Doug. My question must be unclear. Here is what happens. I create a
text document in notepad by just typing a continuous stream of 1's for instance. Longer than one line of text so that it will exceed the length of the Word line. Then I open this file in Word. I get a word document with 1" margins, despite the fact that I've created a default template with .5 margins. This is significant because I'm trying to use a pdf995 product called omniformat that, like many others, uses the word print to create a pdf, and thus the pdf wraps in the wrong place. I know that my default margin is .5 since if I go into Word 2007 and create a new document the margins come up as .5" "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: When you open a document, save by running an autoopen macro, there is nothing that will change the margins that were used when that document was created. -- Hope this helps.

Notepad has no margins as far as I can tell.

Yes it does! Select Page Setup from the File menu in Notepad.
