re-set margins

[paulad]

How do I re-set margins after pasting text to another document. I'm unable
to change the margins in my destination document.

Are you pasting the text from email or the web?

If so, see here:

If not, perhaps see one of these:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/PasteWithoutSectionInfo.htm

If none of those answers your question, I think you will need to provide
further information.
