Microsoft word margins help?

If you have pre 2007 version of Word then the correct way to change the margins BY DEFAULT, so that any time you open a new doent in Word, they stay at 1 inch or 2.54 cm is to go File, Page Set Up Margins, the top and bottom will already be 2.54 so use the tab key twice which will highlight the left margin, type 2.54 (don't bother about the cm) tab again to highlight next margin and type 2.54 BUT most importantly, hit the Default on, not just the OK on which will change the margins for the current doent only. You will then get a message asking if you want to change the normal template, and you answer yes, and your margins are changed properly. If you are 2007, then from Page Layout menu click on the downward right facing arrow to side of the word Page Setup under the margin, orientation etc set of icons. This opens the familiar Page Set Up window where you set the margins exactly as outlined above. If you remember to hit the default on, then the margins do stay as you set. After that if you need to change margins or orientation for just a particular doent, do the same but only use OK on, not default. Sorry just re-read your question and see you do have 2007 so ignore first part.
