Make Word’s Page Setup Changes “Permanent”
Okay, so maybe permanent isn't the best word to describe this, but would you settle for a default setting?
Do you find you're constantly making changes to the Page Setup information in MS Word?
Are those changes the same each time?
Maybe you don't agree with the default margins or perhaps you're always making adjustments to the header/footer settings.
Whatever changes you frequently make, I bet you'd really like it if Word would propecia and ed just cooperate and keep those changes. I mean, wouldn't it be nice if you could cut out the repetitious work of making the same changes every time you start a new document?
Yes, I agree!
The key to making that wish come true has been right in front of you the whole time.
Take a look in the bottom left hand corner of the Page Setup dialogue window (File menu, Page Setup choice):
Do you see it?
Yep, there it is. There's a Default button on the Page Setup dialogue window.
So, go ahead and make your changes, click on the Default button and voila! The changes will affect the active document and any new documents you create with the same template.
At this point, I'm sure there are more than a few Word 2007 users wondering how this applies to them. I mean, it's not like you have a File menu with a Page Setup choice. So, what can you do?
Well, you can access the Page Setup dialogue window via the Page Layout ribbon.
Click on the down arrow in the bottom right hand corner of the Page Setup section and you'll instantly be in familiar territory.
With this little trick, you can cross one more thing off your "to do" list when you begin working on a new document. Yes!
