Default Make default margins not so big in Word.

Not sure which version of Word you are referring to but 1.25" (3.17 cm)
margins are no longer default.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

I never liked the idea of 3cm margins anyway, but now consider this. If you
make your margins 1.5-2cm instead of the default 3.17, how many trees
would
you save? People don't normally mess with page setup and most printers
nowadays can print almost to the edge of the paper, so why not save
millions
of sheets of paper and reduce the huge margins. If you release a patch
called
an "environmental update", imagine what positive publicity that would
bring
to Microsoft?
