Hi, I am using office xp 2002. The default page size is A4, changed the
printer settings to A4, and language to UK English. But when I start Word
after making the changes, and try to print, and check properties, it gives
the document size as 'letter'. Of course I can manually change it to A4, but
it is a real pain. Any idea what needs to be done to keep the default paper
size as A4 whent printing ? I am using a HP 6L printer.

Hoping to hear soon.

Change the paper size in the Normal.dot template to A4 via File>Page Setup.

Specifically, change the paper size in Page Setup (in a new document,
without changing anything else), then click Default...

This seems to make change the default for all new documents. However, is
there a way to change the default for pre-existing documents?

No. Existing documents are saved with their own settings. Do you have "Allow
A4/Letter paper resizing" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options?
