Default Units and page layout.

Okay, I understand Milimeters (decimal) and
Inches, but...
Why it always starts with:
Page size: Letter
and
Units: Inches (decimal)

How can I tell this stupid program to use A4 and Inches
(meaning 1", 1/2", 1/4" and not the decimal layout).
There is a missing button on the Page setup dialog:
"Save as default" so that I don't have to change this settings over and over
again!

Set up the page the way you link it and save the document as a Visio
template. Then start from this document in the future.

Thank You Mark!
I found that my problem appears because Visio loads the default settings
from a template when I am creating a new drawing during the startup wizard.
I have overwritten a built-in template with a custom one and it works fine.
