Thank you. When I went back to Page Setup, I saw the
default button. That worked. This exactly what I wanted.
Thank you so much. Aurora

There are two issues involved here
1. Page margins
This is the base margin setting of the underlying page
and is set from file
page setup. Change the settings to what you require and
click the default
button. SAVE NORMAL.DOT when prompted on exit.
2. Paragraph indents
You can set the left and right indents (or outdents) of
any paragraph style
to override the page margin settings for that style.
Rather than change the
indents for the normal paragraph style which can have
knock on effects
elsewhere, create an indented paragraph style for use
when such a layout is
required.

Such changes unless saved to normal.dot affect only the
current document.
Changes saved to normal.dot apply to new documents.
If you cannot persuade the changes to stick, open
normal.dot directly and
make the changes there.

I did what you said and it changed the placement the
margin on the page. But when I go into page setup, it
still reads side margins of 1.25" If there any way to
change this default to 1" on both sides?

Use instead the menu FILE PAGE SETUP to set overall
margins.

It is possible to set the indents for a style in
FORMAT PARAGRAPH
Thus if my Normal style has indents of 1" and my page
margins are set
at 1.25", my normal paragraphs will actually appear to
start at 2.25"
from the edge of the page.

If I know that the page margins are set at 1.25" I
could set the
Normal paragraph to have indents set at "minus point
25 inches" (that
appears as -0.5") so that they start one inch from the
page but I
think you will find that using FILE PAGE SETUP is
the better way
