There is a pari of macros, I don't know precisely what they are called now,
that change the margin settings between paper and stationary... And these
macros modify the menus...  They act as a toggle, so if you change the setting
during a session, you will get prompted to save the template.

It may be that the actual state of this toggle is out of kilter with what
you have set up in AutoOpen or AutoNew as the setting -- so AutoOpen is
always resetting it to the opposite of what the "disk" state is.

You might try loading while holding down a shift key (this will bypass
any automacros) and examine the menu under Format...
