Print margins

I am using Word 2003.
I often want to be able to copy some text from a web page and paste it into
Word.
I then select Normal, desired font size, etc.
Then I want to print it with preset margins.
I can not find any way in either Word or my Canon Pixma iP1600 where I can
set the margins permanently.
I can set them and next time they are back at the original very wide values.
Can anyone help?
TIA

First, take a look at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/CleanWebText.htm.
Then set the desired margins in the Word document (in File | Page Setup).

Hi Brian,

You can set a default page margin in Word 2003 in
File=>Page Setup=>Margins
There is a [default] button at the bottom of that dialog.

Try setting the default with a blank document open, closing Word and restarting to see if those settings stick. If not then there
could be an add-in interfering or you could have a damaged Word Normal.dot template.
