Default "page set up" issue

I was referring to the object inserted via Insert | Text Box. A blank
page in Word does not use text boxes; you just fill it with text.

Perhaps you need to recreate the blank document template (normal.dot).
See the "Creating a new Normal.dot from scratch" section in the
article at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm.

I'm not sure what you mean. When I open Word, the default page is

open and
you can't get the curser out of the text box on that blank page.

It seems to me there is an issue with the default page that I can't

figure
out. What's really driving me crazy is that the default page is

legal so
every new doc I try to create is legal when I want it letter. And

there are
times I want to change other settings to the default page.

This option is grayed out and not available to alter page

settings.
How can I correct this?
