How can I change the default Page Style margins, so that when I start a new document the margins will be 1 inch?


  1. Open a new text document.
  2. Choose Format > Page > Page, and adjust the margins as desired.
  3. Choose File > Templates > Save, give your new template a name, and click OK to save it.
  4. Choose File > Templates > Organize. In Template Management, right-click on "My Templates"
  5. Choose Import Template > Open the new template above to add it.
  6. After it appears under "My Templates", right-click on it or click Commands > Set As Default Template.
  7. Click Close to complete. Close your template file.

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