My margins are set to "Normal" and normal is set as 1 inch all around but every new word document I open the margins are over an inch. Here are some pictures of what I am experiencing. Thank you.

    Hi Annie,

    Quit Word completely and then upon reopening Word, click Layout > Margins > Custom. You will see a dialog like this:

    Make sure the settings are the way you want them and then click the Default... button, which is in the bottom left corner of the dialog. Apply this to your Normal template and then quit and restart Word.

    Hopefully this helps
