The prescribed method is to delete (or rename) Normal.dotm. If you
previously had Word 2003 or earlier on that computer, there might be a
Normal.dot that's being used to create your new Normal.dotm, and thereby
inheriting older settings. So, you might need to delete (or rename)
Normal.dot, as well.

Every time I open Word 2007 it seems to be open in a setting from a past
document. I know that Word 2007 has a new default line spacing (1.15) and
a
new spacing after paragraph. However, when I open Word with a new document
it
is set to the 1.0 spacing with no space after the paragraph. I need word
to
completely go back to default settings (including paragraph, font, ruler,
etc.) for every new document. How do I do this?
