How do I change the margins in Word output?

I'm using RoboHelp 9 as an intermediate format to convert FrameMaker 10 source to old-school 7-bit ASCII text with layout. The whole path is FrameMaker > RoboHelp > Word 2010 > Save as MS-DOS Text with Layout. I have this working with MIF2Go but want to switch it to RoboHelp since that's what the company owns.

The FrameMaker doc's page layout is 8.5" x 11" with .25" margins (8" text column). The text is Courier New 12.

The Word document generated by RoboHelp has 1" margins. Where can I change that?

Have you tried creating your own Word template with the required margins and using this when you generate your Word file from RH? See Peter Grainge's site - http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/rh9_printing.htm for details

Ah, that's the option I was looking for. Printed Documentation > Properties > Next > Next > Next > Use Styles from Microsoft Word Template. Thanks.
