Margins problems with Word 2003?

Does anyone else have this problem? When I reopen a Word doc, sometimes I
find the margins and indents have changed and the type is scattered across
the page with large gaps between words. After fixing the type, the next time
it's reopened, the same thing may have occurred. I have Office 2003, Student
version and XP.

I suspect that your template overrides your manual resetting. Make sure to make the changes on the Style level and tick "Add to template". Also, you could open the template (the *.dot) connected to your document directly, make the changes you describe, and save. The next time you open your .doc it should be solved.
