Changing Page Definition Defaults
If you generally use the same page and margin setup for all your forms, you can change the system defaults so that each new form is created with the defaults of your preference.
Changing the page size defaults
The initial default page size is letter. If your standard form page is a different size (e.g., legal), you may want to change this default. You can select one of the standard sizes, or you can create a default custom-size page if your usual page is a non-standard size.

2. Click on the New Form Defaults tab.
3. Click the in the Font Set field to display the list of available font sets.
4. Select the font set you want to use as your default.
5. Click to
close the Options dialog.
Changing the default margin measurements
If you use the same margin settings for most of your forms, you can change your default margin settings to those measurements so they will be automatically set for you whenever you create a new form. Then you will only have to change your margins for special forms or pages. These settings will be applied to all pages when your form is initially created and to all pages that you add unless you change the form margins.
To set margin defaults1. Open the Tools menu and select Options to display the Options dialog.
2. Click on the New Form Defaults tab.
3. Enter the measurements you want for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom margins in the Margin fields.
4. Click to close the Options dialog.
Note:
If your pages have different margins, new pages that are added will default to the default margin settings that were in effect at the time the form was created, unless you changed the form margins in your form. When you set a form margin globally for a form, that setting becomes the default setting for the form. The setting remains in effect as the form default even if you reset the page margins individually. New pages you add will be given those default margin settings.
