Default Paper Size

N

Nobifore

Every time I change my default paper size to A4, and then exit Word, after
reloading Word it reverts to Letter size. Any ideas anyone? I have
uninstalled wo0rd, and reinstalled, and it always reverts to Letter size.
Methinks a registry setting, but which setting? Any help would be appreciated

You probably have a Windows regional setting set to a country that uses
Letter paper by default (USA) instead of the country where you actually work
(UK , Australia etc)
You may then need to open normal.dot and make the changes there.

It's also possible, if the default is being set by changing the paper size
in Page Setup and clicking Default..., that the problem is that Normal.dot
is not being saved. This could be due to Adobe Acrobat (see the last section
of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm) or some other
add-in. Also, make sure that A4 is the default paper size selected in the
printer driver (File | Print... | Properties).
