To enlarge on Frederik's reply: The default option makes the settings of the
following text boxes as those of the box you used to set the default. However, this will only be in effect for the current Word session. When you restart Word, the text boxes will revert to the original default. To make the change permanent, you need to set the default and save it to normal.dot. Open normal.dot, insert a text box and edit it as you want it in future. Set it as default, then delete the text box and save the now blank normal.dot. Now new documents will have the new default settings. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "starfly" wrote in message ... :I am trying to format a document in word 2003...

That's no problem. Your information was correct which is more than many replies we see! Keep on posting. Terry "Fredrik E.
