    JimLL I can't follow the rules

    XP Pro, SP, current updates, ZA, A^2, Lenovo T60p Dual CPU - 2.1 ghz, 3 Gb computer memory, 3 cent operator memory

    A few days ago when I needed page numbering not available in WordPad I fired up Lotus Symphony - Documents - for the first time (it came with my XP Pro). I assume there are later versions available, but that's not my issue right now.

    I cannot find any way to configure my own page setup. All there is in Documents are things like default fonts. When printing a newly loaded document the margins ALWAYS reset to the Lotus default and I have to run through everything all over again to get the print layout I need - 20 times if there are 30 chapters. It gets very old very fast.

    Can anyone tell me how to find how to set up my own defaults?

    I have already looked all over tarnation trying to find help. At Lotus itself the pseudo FAQs merely tell you how to set up a page for a new or newly loaded document. There is nothing to click to make settings permanent.

    Where have they hidden the default configuring dialog?

    I couldn't get any upgrade to work so I got Open Office. It's easier in some ways and harder in some ways. But I haven't found a way to make my defaults permanent on that either. So far, it always resets itself every time something is loaded.

    Are you familiar with OO?

    Thanks. I've searched, but these word processor developers seem to have a world of words all their own and I apparently don't speak their language.

    My browser says the link you gave doesn't exist - not even the server. May or may not be true.

    My version is 3.3.0.

    It does exist - maybe there was a temporary outage.
