In newer versions of MS Word (all those from the last 6 years?) you don't set global defaults anymore, you have to change the document template you are using for the change to be universal and permanent. Find and open normal.dot and make and save the changes you want to it. All new documents using this template, (and that should be all your new documents) will have this page setting.

What am I leaving out? I thought if I hit "default" it would stay at 7-1/2" unless I changed it.
