Default Word won't maintain default settings I set for all new documents?

If an application installed the add-in, you can sometimes uninstall it via
that same application. If the application doesn't offer that possibility,
you can uninstall add-ins manually, by moving them out of the Startup folder
(in your user profile).

COM add-ins can be disabled via Office button | Word Options, Add-Ins
category; in the Manage box, choose "COM Add-ins," and then click Go.

If you are on a corporate network you might be prevented to make font
changes. Talk to the administrator.

On the other hand, if you are using a stand-alone (or home) computer, you
may have installed a poorly designed add-in which doesn't allow you to
save to the Normal template. A work-around that you can use is the
following: Open the Normal template as a file (in the Open dialog box,
click Trusted Templates, select Normal, and click Open) and make the font
changes directly to the Normal style. Save and close the file.

A long-term solution is to uninstall the add-in.

I have set the default settings in Home - Font for my default font and in
Page Layout-Page Set Up for my margin settings. I selected 'Yes' so the
default will pertain to all new documents. The defaults don't stay.
Opening/starting a new document goes back to the original settings when
my
computer was set up with Microsoft Word 2007. How can I keep my new
default
settings for all future documents?
