set default margins permanently
A Word 2002 user wants to set default margins permanently, so all docs have
the same margins (using NORMAL.DOT). We try Word = Page Setup = changes margins as desired = Default = Yes. But this does not affect other / new docs. How can we make it global, for all docs? -- David Grana |

This should work (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm for this and other customizations). If it doesn't, it is probably because Normal.dot is not being saved. If he has the save prompt enabled (and he should--Tools | Options | Save) and is not being prompted to save Normal.dot when he quits Word, then that's definitely the issue. If he has Adobe Acrobat 7 installed, it is the culprit; see the last bit of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm. If not Acrobat, then perhaps the malefactor is another poorly written add in, but Shift+File, Save All should work in any case. -- Suzanne S.
