This exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. Aurora -----Original Message----- There are two issues involved here 1. Page margins This is the base margin setting of the underlying page and is set from file page setup. Change the settings to what you require and click the default button. SAVE NORMAL.DOT when prompted on exit. 2. Paragraph indents You can set the left and right indents (or outdents) of any paragraph style to override the page margin settings for that style. Rather than change the indents for the normal paragraph style which can have knock on effects elsewhere, create an indented paragraph style for use when such a layout is required. Such changes unless saved to normal.dot affect only the current document. Changes saved to normal.dot apply to new documents. If you cannot persuade the changes to stick, open normal.dot directly and make the changes there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Aurora wrote: I did what you said and it changed the placement the margin on the page. But when I go into page setup, it still reads side margins of 1.25" If there any way to change this default to 1" on both sides? Aurora -----Original Message----- Use instead the menu FILE PAGE SETUP to set overall margins. It is possible to set the indents for a style in FORMAT PARAGRAPH Thus if my Normal style has indents of 1" and my page margins are set at 1.25", my normal paragraphs will actually appear to start at 2.25" from the edge of the page. If I know that the page margins are set at 1.25" I could set the Normal paragraph to have indents set at "minus point 25 inches" (that appears as -0.5") so that they start one inch from the page but I think you will find that using FILE PAGE SETUP is the better way . . |
