I am seeking a pre-formatted way to write stories with Word?

[Guest]

I would like to use Word to do my creative writing but need some sort of
program with pre-formatted margins so it is all ready to go.
Is there any program like this?

You are having a laugh! All Word documents have margins (which you can
change). All you have to do is provide the words that go between them

With each new page I have to stop and redo the margins and format. I write
about 50 pages at a sitting and would like to have each page look the same
format-wise. Still seeking a serious answer please.

If each new page is a separate document, save one of the documents (without
its text - but with the margins and styles set as you want) as a template.
All your new documents created from that template will have the margins and
styles you have chosen.

If it is a continuous document then all the pages should have the same
margin settings.

To follow up what Graham has said, it sounds as if you are creating a new
document for each page. This is not necessary or desirable. It sounds as if
you could use some basic word processing help, so see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/concepts/introduction/index.html. Then see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm to follow
up on Graham's suggestion of creating a template with the margins you need.
