The Microsoft Windows Notepad application does not save margin settings. There is no workaround for this behavior; this is a limitation of Notepad.

The Microsoft Windows Notepad has an option for margin settings; however, the changes made affect the current open file only. When you exit Notepad, the margins return to their default values. Saving the file does not save the margin settings.
