Default Back to default margins

I created a custom document and, in the process, reset the margins. It had
a different size, etc.

Now, when I open for a new document I get an 8 1/2 X 11 size but the margins
are all fouled up.
I can't find a way to reset them to the default margins.

Thanks for your help,
Doug

Default Back to default margins

In a new Blank Document, without changing anything else, go to the Margins
tab of Page Setup and set your desired margins (the defaults for Word 2003
are 1.25" left and right, 1" top and bottom). Then click the Default...
button and answer Yes to the ensuing dialog. For more, see

Thanks Suzanne, I appreciate it.
I looked all through Help and couldn't find it. It must be there but they
hid it pretty well.
