All of a sudden my normal.dot template has changed the paper size from A4 to
Letter. Also the top margin is set to 2.54 cm, but the cursor blinks on the page right at the top. Why? How can I reset my template to stay at A4 and have my cursor blink at 2.54 cm from the top edge of the paper? Believe me I have tried recreating my template several times, but it doesn't save my changes. At the risk of losing all my hair, in desperation, please can someone help. Thank You. |

For the latter problem, see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. For the former, in a new blank document, without making any other changes, change the paper size in Page Setup, then click Default... and answer yes. -- Suzanne S.

First, check that your printer is set to work with A4, not letter; then open
normal.dot itself make the changes, then save. As a side issue, if you are using A4, you'll make life easier if you set your margins to an integral metric measure, not an imperial approximation (eg 2 or 2.5 cm, rather than 1 inch) "Judie" wrote in message ...

Thanks, I found the white space and sorted that problem. But I have tried
changing paper size in printer drivers, and in page set up, but still reverts back to Letter. "Suzanne S.

Some printer drivers have the paper settings in more than one place (One of
mine has 'Printer settings', 'Printer defaults', and 'Printer preferences'.). Work your way through ALL the options and drill-down screens, muttering furious incantations in Swahili as you do so.

Opening Normal.dot itself should not be necessary unless Acrobat or some
other meddler is preventing changes to Normal.dot from being saved; otherwise, Default... in Page Setup should suffice. -- Suzanne S.

If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed, it's possible changes to Normal.dot
are not being saved; see the last section of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm. But it also helps to make sure that the keyboard language is set to English (UK). -- Suzanne S.
