Page Setup Default Issue

As I use the "page setup" button, my page automaticaly changes to a template
version I created. I usually use this template most often..... But now I
have forgotten how to terminate/change the "page setup automatic"
function.... The problem seems to be that now Word will not "OPEN PAGE
SETUP" it simply changes it without showing me the "PAGE SETUP MENU BOX". I
have search everywhere in Words help menu's, this section of the "Word Page
Layout Decussion Group" before
finely writting this question????

I would like to contionue to use this format, however in the instances where
I need
to alter the Margins, without getting the "PAGE SETUP MENU BOX" to show
itself, I am stuck having no other options!! I would like to change layouts
at my own descression...

Help please!

What Page Setup button are you referring to? Unless you have customized your
toolbar, there is no Page Setup button except on the Header and Footer
toolbar. Are you perhaps referring to the New button that allows you to
create a new document? This merely creates a new document based on
Normal.dot. If you want to use a different template, you need to go to the
File New dialog and select it. And if a document has been saved as
Normal.dot, then see

It sounds like you've created a macro called FilePageSetup to automate the
function. This macro is running in place of the built-in command. For a
permanent fix, find the macro and delete it or rename it. For a work-around,
go to Tools > Macros. Select 'Word Commands' from the Macros In list, then
select FilePageSetup from the command list -- this will run the built-in
command.

Alternatively, set up separate templates for each of the page setups you
commonly use: then you don't need to worry about it at all.
