My printer's minimum margins are Top 0.12", Bottom 0.5", Left & Right 0.25".
I've tried adjusting the margins in my Word 2003 document to these settings,
but it keeps changing the top margin back to 0.5". If I change the paper size
from Letter to Legal, it allows me to keep the 0.12" top margin. Any ideas
how I can get it to accept the smaller margin using letter paper?

The margins that Word will allow you to use are hard coded into the printer
driver. See if there is a newer driver available.

I used to have no problem using a 0.12" top margin, but I recently created a
document with a next page section break which caused the top margin to change
to 0.5" and now when I access that file I cannot reduce the margin to less
than 0.5" in any new document.
