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
