How do I restore the original margin settings?

This post was very helpful, as I have always been looking for the factory set
margins in Word and can not find them anywhere. Why are they not found in
Word help?
 
Note that the default margins in Word 2007 are 1" all the way around (but
still 0.5" for header and footer).

Thanks...I am still working in Word 2003.
I think my settings got all "wonky" when I hit the default button on the
margins tab. I assumed that would return the factory default setting to my
document or my default settings. I did not realize it would change my default
settings to the current set up. It's good that folks like you are available
to help us get out of sticky problems that can easily happen in applications.
 
This is a common misconception, though if you read the message box that
comes up when you click Default... ("Do you want to change the default
settings for page setup?") you might get a clue, though even that wording is
a little ambiguous. OTOH, it does NOT say, "Do you want to return to the
original Word default settings for page setup?" or anything like that.
