(Instructions for these operations are 
explained later in this chapter.) Each time 
you start Word, however, the program 
automatically loads the default Word 
Settings (4) configuration file so that you 
have to specifically load any other 
configuration file you plan to use. 
(However, you can start Word by double-
clicking on a configuration file icon, 
thereby loading that configuration at the 
same time.)

Setting Document Defaults
You can change document and section 
defaults by alternating specifications and 
clicking the “Set Default” button in the 
Document and Section dialog boxes. For 
example, to change your left and right 
margins from the preset 1.25 inches to 1 
inch, follow these steps: 
1.Open the Document dialog box

2.Change your left and right 
margins to 1 inch.
3.Click the “Set Default” button.
4.Close the dialog box. The next time 
you start the program, Word creates 1 inch 
margins for all new documents you create. 
(Defaults don’t take effect until you quit 
from Word and start it up again. Setting 
defaults has no effect on existing 
documents.) You can set Page Setup defaults by putting  an “X” in the “Set Defaults” box in the Page Setup dialog box. 
You can set “Print” dialog box defaults for 
some boxes within the dialog box, such as 
“Print Hidden Text,” by making the 
change and printing a file. Other settings, 
such as page 
range to print, 
don’t persist
