In a new Blank Document, without changing anything else, go to the Margins
tab of Page Setup and set your desired margins (the defaults for Word 2003
are 1.25" left and right, 1" top and bottom). Then click the Default...
button and answer Yes to the ensuing dialog. For more, see

I created a custom document and, in the process, reset the margins. It had
a different size, etc.
Now, when I open for a new document I get an 8 1/2 X 11 size but the
margins are all fouled up.
I can't find a way to reset them to the default margins.
Thanks for your help,
Doug
