When I open a new Word page, it is defaulted to a two column format with a
wide left column and narrow right column. FORMAT-columns allows me to click
on single column which returns that page to one column - but there is NO
Default button to set it forever. This started sometime during the summer.
Help. How can I reset the formatting to one column?

Thanks for help

Assuming you have Word 2003 or earlier...

Locate and open your Normal.dot file as described in Method 1 in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm . Click on
Format | Columns | One | Apply to: Whole document | OK. Even if "One"
already appears to be selected, click on it anyway. Type a character or
two and delete what you just typed. Save the Normal.dot file and close it.
