RE: Word: can't fix strange paper size

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Hi Linda,

Laurel's right. I would only add that the first thing about Word that
you should learn is the standard use of templates and styles. I
recommend Suzanne Barnhill's "Creating a Template: The Basics," which
you can find at http://tinyurl.com/gksg2. Its subsequent articles
include a chapter on your current bane, paper size.

As Suzanne writes, "it is usually a good idea to leave Normal.dot
alone... and make a custom template for each specific task you routinely
do."
