Normal Template

[Khers Sefid]

Hi

Everytime I start Word 2003, I can see that the paper size has been
changed to "Letter". I try to change it back to A4 and save it as
Normal Template but next time I start Word it goes back to letter. I
have also tried to delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dot
but word makes a new one everytime it starts up. I have also tried to
copy Normal.dat from another computer and replace mine but still new
documents open with letter-paper-layout

tnx for any sugestions

Change Windows regional settings to UK (or other country that uses A4 as
standard). Ensure the printer driver is also set to A4.

You mean a Yank who needs US regional keyboard and other
settings and lives in Turkey can't print on A4 paper without
having to reset the paper size every time?

I think resetting the size in the printer driver will probably do the trick
without having to change the regional settings.

No I don't mean that. But if the regional settings are set up to US, then a
default normal.dot file created by Word will be set up to US Letter paper
size. You could then open normal.dot (file >open) and change the paper
layout and it should hold, until you delete normal.dot again. (Incidentally
only Word can create normal.dot from its internal settings. Saving a
document as normal.dot does not achieve the same thing.)
or
You can set the Turkish regional setting with the US keyboard layout,
or
You can set up a separate template for use with A4 documents.
