First, create a new template:

  1. Open a new text document.
  2. Choose Format → Page and select the Page tab.
  3. In the dialog box, adjust the margins as desired. Click OK to close the box.
  4. Choose File → Templates → Save Under Categories, select My Templates.
  5. In the blank space under the words New Template, type a name for your template.
  6. Click  OK  to close the dialog box.

Then, set your new template as the default template:

  1. Choose File → Templates → Organize. Double-click My Templates
  2. Right-click on the new template name that you selected in step 4.
  3. Select Set as Default Template.
