The workaround for resetting page margins discussed in issue 9247 (creating a
template with the desired settings and making it the default) only works when
creating a new document.
Opening a text document (that is, something plaintext with a .txt extension)
bypasses the default template, and the user is back to the standard, too-wide
margins.

The issue of default margin width has been discussed ad nauseum. It's a common
FAQ. Users complain about it, and the "solution" is kludgy.
Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Writer has defaults for tab stops, grid
resolution,  and table cell spacing. Why not add defaults for page margins, too?
