I was surprised by the few number of websites that show how to do this, because I’m sure it’s something every open office user runs into. This video describes how to edit the margins in Open Office so they match the margins in word. The video also shows how to make that change be the default behavior for writer, and I also go into some load/save preferences, hope you enjoy!

How do I permanently change the default margin settings in Open Office 3.0 Writer?
I’ve wanted my Open Office documents to have margins exactly the way they are set in MS Word. Reason is, we have set margins in place by my school. Permanently is the key word, so that every time I start a new document, they margins are the way they are supposed to be.
How do you customize an Open Office template?
I want to make the margins longer? I’m not sure if that’s the right way to say it. Basically right now when I write the box is small, so that one page in MS word equals two pages in the Open office template. Its a great template but I want to make the format longer not wider. Thanks!
