I have tried everything I can think of to find a way to change the default setting, with no success. Does anyone know how to do that? It appears that you are not changing the default paper size in the preferences of the application that you are using for word processing. That is where you have to go to make a permanent change for the paper size. Once you make the preference change, you should be asked if you want to make the change into your permanent selection. Simply answer "yes", and go about your business. HTH
