First, create a new template:

#Open a new text document.
#Choose {{menu|Format|Page}} and select the ''Page'' tab.
#In the dialog box, adjust the margins as desired. Click ''OK'' to close the box.
#Choose {{menu|File|Templates|Save}}  Under ''Categories'', select ''My Templates''.
#In the blank space under the words ''New Template'', type a name for your template.
#Click {{button|OK}} to close the dialog box.

Then, set your new template as the default template:

#Choose {{menu|File|Templates|Organize}}.  Double-click ''My Templates''
#Right-click on the new template name that you selected in step 4.
#Select ''Set as Default Template''.
#Click {{button|Close}} to complete.  Close your template file.

In future, when you create a new text document, it will have the margins you chose.
