Default HELP! Resetting MS Word 2007 to Default

As Summer points out, you have to close Word first, then delete or rename
Normal.dotm. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm
for tips on locating it (not written for Word 2007 or Vista, but still has
some useful info).

Hey Suzanne,

I try renaming Normal.dotm but I can't because I am obviously using MS

Word
2007 under that template. I am really new at this, so can you show me how

to
fix my problem "step-by-step." I have Window Vista if it helps.

Thanks.

For any previous version, you would rename Normal.dot and let Word build

a
new one. I assume the same would be true in Word 2007 except that it

would
be Normal.dotm that you would rename.

My question is simple: How do I go back to default? That is, some

styles
have
changed that I simply find annoying. In other words, I want MS Word

2007
the
way I got it out of the box without having to reinstall. Please help!
