I would like to be able to edit the normal document ---
the one that appears on the screen when you first open Word
2000.

It now opens in what it says is 11 point Arial, but is
nothing like 11 point type.

What I want is for it to open with a different top
margin, a different type face and different font size.

Is there a safe way to make these changes?

Thanks for the help.
