text: my word.docs perameters are all out of wack and i can't figure out how to reset them to default.can u help me? when i pull up a fresh word doc, the top margin is at the top of the page and the left margin is fixed at 9 inches. when i print out, the format is centered in a 8x11 page with a 1 1/2 margin on top and bottom. i tried to go into wordhelp, but haven't found a means to get the doc back to the original default margins. guess, i'm going to have to break down and get "word for dummies" at some point. but, maybe someone can help me in the meantime. ;-d start | search | for files and folders  look for normal.dot and when it is found delete it; this will reset your margins, default font...  if you are desperate to keep the old file just in case you think you did some formatting that it will be hard to recreate, rename the file to something like normal.old.
