For U.S. Letter, 1.25" left and right, 1" top and bottom, 0.5" header and
footer; for A4, I believe the equivalent in cm. One way to get back to the
default margins temporarily, just so you can see what they are, is to start
Word with the /a switch or (in recent versions) pressing Ctrl while loading.
This loads Word in Safe Mode, with the default Normal.dot. If you have made
no other modifications you want to save, you can rename Normal.dot, and Word
will generate a fresh factory-default copy; see

When I tried loading Word in Safe Mode, I looked to see what the margins were
and they were 1" left and right, and 1" top and bottom. I am confused. Why
did Suzanne say the normal page margins for U.S. letter are 1.25 left and
right?

The default Left and Right margins are 1.25" in Word 2003 and earlier; they
are 1" in Word 2007. You didn't say what version you had?

This post was very helpful, as I have always been looking for the factory set
margins in Word and can not find them anywhere. Why are they not found in
Word help?

Note that the default margins in Word 2007 are 1" all the way around (but
still 0.5" for header and footer).

Thanks...I am still working in Word 2003.
I think my settings got all "wonky" when I hit the default button on the
margins tab. I assumed that would return the factory default setting to my
document or my default settings. I did not realize it would change my default
settings to the current set up. It's good that folks like you are available
to help us get out of sticky problems that can easily happen in applications.

This is a common misconception, though if you read the message box that
comes up when you click Default... ("Do you want to change the default
settings for page setup?") you might get a clue, though even that wording is
a little ambiguous. OTOH, it does NOT say, "Do you want to return to the
original Word default settings for page setup?" or anything like that.
