Default page set up

Set a one-time, one-page odd paper size, mistakenly clicked "Default." Now I can't get it to go back to normal. My normal.dotm page set up is 8.5 x 26. I've tried page set up, format document, but always goes back to this "other" size. None of the "Help" topics have been helpful.

Suggestions?

tnx

Answer

Unless your description is incomplete, you're not going far enough or else you're going in the wrong direction... You cannot change the Default Paper Size if you go to File> Page Setup. The settings made there affect only the current document :-)

In a new blank document;

  1. Go to Format> Document
  2. Click the Page Setup button
  3. Select the preferred Paper Size
  4. Confirm the other settings
  5. Click OK to dismiss the Page Setup dialog
  6. In the Document dialog window click the Default button
  7. Click Yes to confirm updating the NORMAL template
