permanently changing header and footer tabs
i am in the process of setting up my 'normal' word sheet (the one that pops
up when i click on file:new). i've managed to get the paper size to 'a4' from 'letter', to change margins and the font. i am now stuck at trying to adjust the 2 tabs (centre and right) that come by default in the header and footer. i can't seem to have them permanently set according to the new margins. every new word sheet i open, they're back where they were originally. is there a way i can set a new default for the original 2 header and footer tabs? cheers |

permanently changing header and footer tabs
You need to change the tabs in the Header and Footer styles and save the
changes to Normal.dot ("Add to template"). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm This is the *only* safe way to make these changes: if you open Normal.dot, View | Header and Footer, and make any changes to the header or footer, you will end up with an empty paragraph in the header and footer that will take up space and mess up labels. Only if the header and footer are never touched directly do they remain "empty" and invisible. -- Suzanne S.
