When I change the default settings for my page margins and my font,

margins all around and Arial 11pt.

In general, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm.

There are a couple of things that can prevent customizations from
"sticking":

If a network login script automatically replaces your Normal.dot template
with an "official" one from the server, go complain to the network
administrator. Normal.dot is intended to be a personal scratchpad for
defaults, but some companies try to lock their employees into the corporate
look-and-feel. If this is what's happening, there may not be much you can do
about it.

If you have Acrobat 7.0, its Word add-in has the nasty property of
preventing Normal.dot from being saved. See the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm.
