Default Any way to lock margins so they can't be changed?

Hi,

I'm pasting two or three pages containing pictures into a Word 2007 document
from another Word 2007 document with the same margins (but which I changed
months ago from default to wide to accommodate the landscape pictures). When
I paste the pages, even though both documents have the same margins, the
second document (being pasted into) goes to awry to default margins for the
pasted pages, which I have to change every time I paste something. I want to
lock in the margins on the second (being pasted into) document so they won't
change. But that doesn't seem possible.

Thanks for any help.

What are you pasting from? Another Word document? Or some other source?
Which margins do you want to keep? Those of the destination document? Or
those of the source?
Which version of Word are you using?

We'll need to know those things before we can offer help.

Hi,

When I cut and paste pages (with pictures if that matters) into the
document, it changes the margins of the document. Afterward, I basically
only read the text and look at the pictures (i.e. almost never make changes),
so I don't care if it makes macros, or whatever, unusable.

Thanks for any help I can get.

There are ways to do this, but they would require protecting the entire
document in ways that might make it functionally unusable. Perhaps if you
