First step would be to set the margins in the Normal.dot file.
Check under Tools, Options, File Locations, User Templates for the directory where Normal.dot is located. These files are hidden files so ensure you have "Show hidden files and folders" checked in your Folder Options, Tools on the Windows Explorer window. Ensure you click open on Normal.dot and not double click, as this will open a document based on the Normal.dot template. Hopefully if you set them i this template, they will remain the next time you open Word.

It is not necessary to open Normal.dot to change the default margins. You
can just set the desired margins in File | Page Setup and then click Default... -- Suzanne S.
