Page wrong size

[Chlscout]

Using Word 2007 on XP. All updated.

When I start a new page (ctrl+N or via menu) Word is not setting th
right size and view is way out, e.g. set page as A4 with 1cm margin
all round, get a page 28cm x 21cm (found size by drawing rectangl
within page constraints and checking format).

Same happens on A3

Any ideas

Ctrl+N does not "start a new page"; it creates a new document. To change the
page setup defaults for new documents, click the Page Layout tab on the
ribbon, and then click the dialog launcher button (the arrow on the bottom
right) of the Page Setup group. Make the desired changes, and then click the
Default button. When/if you are prompted to save the Normal template, choose
to do so.
