Default How do I restore default settings for Microsoft Word 2003

I have accidentally changed the default page settings for Word 2003. I
cannot set margins in inches. It will only save in pt. Help!

Default How do I restore default settings for Microsoft Word 2003

Tools | Options | General: Measurement units. But if this is already set to
inches, what you're seeing may be "character units" rather than points. If
that's the case, see http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm

The above answers the question in your message body; to answer the question
in your subject line, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm, which explains how
to rename Normal.dot to get a fresh copy with factory-default settings.
Also, if you want to *change* default settings for new documents (rather
than for Word itself, as in the above case), see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm
