Default Cannot find normal.dot nor can I change the default margins...

Hi all,

I'm trying to change the default page margins and even though I select
"default" and confirm that I want the changes to apply to all docs based on
the normal template when I exit the program and reopen it the margins have
reverted back to factory settings.

What on earth??? I've never had this problem before but I just can't make
the settings stick.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

-Yee

If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed, see the last part of

The Normal template should be located in most computers at C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Templates. If you are on a network, however, it may
be somewhere else. You can always create your own template and use it to
create new documents. When working with Normal and other templates, be sure
you are modifying the template itself, not a new document based on that
template.

Suzanne,

Thanks for the advice. I did find this solution after I had posted my
original question. In any case, an update to Acrobat seems to have solved
the problem.

Thanks everyone!
