Margins and formatting settings are saved as part of the document file itself, and don't need to be saved separately.
You can create a new template with your preferred settings by doing the following:
1. |
Open the document with your preferred settings and format. |
2. |
Under the File menu, select Save As Template.... |
3. |
Enter a new filename, if necessary. Click on OK to save the format. |
NOTE: If you wish to change the type of document that gets created (e.g., Screenplay, Stage Play, Novel, etc.) when using File > New (using Default Template), simply replace/overwrite Default.def when saving your template. It is not recommended to overwrite any of the other existing templates.
