The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release, versions 2, 2.1

SYMPTOMS
When you open a document in WordPad, you may notice that the margin settings for the document have changed, but all other document characteristics are the same.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because WordPad does not read the margin settings from the document.

RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, change the margin settings for the document after you open the document.

NOTE: The new margin settings become the default margin settings.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
WordPad stores its default margin settings in the registry. When you open a document, the margins are set to the values indicated in the registry rather than being read from the document. If you change the margin settings in WordPad, the new margin settings are not written to the document but to the registry instead. The new margin settings then become the WordPad defaults and are used with all subsequently opened documents.
