Change the paper size in the Page Setup dialog, click Default..., and answer
Yes. If that doesn't work, also change it in the printer Properties. If even that doesn't work, it may be because you have the system language set to English (US) instead of English (UK) or whatever. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for this message, Suzanne. Unfortunately, have tried all these & it
still resets to Letter. My language is set to UK, the default printer is set to A4 and I've clicked the 'Default' button any number of times. It stays as A4 for that session (i.e., until I close Word and re-open it) and then reverts back to Letter. This is Word 2003 running under XP Home. Any other ideas? Regards, Kathleen "Suzanne S.

Are you sure the Windows regional settings are configured to UK English?

You made this change in the printer Properties as well? Start | Settings |
Printers, right-click on the default printer, choose Properties, and find the tab where you set paper size? -- Suzanne S.

Darn. I thought that was the answer ... the Regional Settings were set to UK,
but the Advanced tab had US English set. Changed that and rebooted, went through the drill again (checked the Printer Properties), set page size to A4 and clicked Default. Still no joy. It changed back again. It's Word 2003 SP 1 ... is there a later service pack, maybe? It may be foolish of me, but I let Microsoft trawl my PC and update all their stuff automatically so I sort of hoped that I'd always be current with patches etc. Thanks for the help anyway. I learned something new even if it didn't fix the problem. :-( Kathleen "Graham Mayor" wrote: Are you sure the Windows regional settings are configured to UK English? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Aelfgifu wrote: Thanks for this message, Suzanne.

There are only three places that can affect the page layout
1. Windows Regional Settings 2. Printer Properties 3. The page setup in the document template (presumably normal.dot). Microsoft's security and program updates will not change this. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Aelfgifu wrote: Darn.
