[Word 2001] Changing Default Paper Size 1

[MarcusStringer]

Hi guys,

How do I change the default paper size from Letter to A4 under OSX.4 using Office 2001 under "Classic" ???

I can change it using File>page setup>selecting paper size>clicking default.

But that only change new documents.

How can I change it so that any doc file I open becomes A4?

Set it up as you want it and then press the Default button (I'm guessing the Mac is the same as the PC in this regard)

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks
That's what I've been doing and it works with new documents, but when an old one is opened it reverts back to Letter...

Documents have their paper size defined within them If they were created with Letter size paper while you had your setting wrong there is nothing for it but to change them individually.

If you have many of them and it's a problem you could write a macro to change it on Open.

Enjoy,
Tony

oow, good thinking...

Because in my line of work it's all manuscripts from publishers, and they are all set to Letter

Doesn't Word 2001 have a Reading View?

I need to print the many, many word files we get a day.
So I need to have them a A4 for the Printer otherwise it errors out because it can't print Letter.
