Default font style when opening Word
When I open Word, it's defaulting to a right-justified heading style, rather
than defaulting to the left justified Normal style. How do I fix this? |

Default font style when opening Word
Open Normal.dot for editing, select the default empty paragraph, and apply
the Normal style. Save and close. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "General Confusion" wrote in message ...

Default font style when opening Word
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I located Normal.dot and opened it. I went
to FormatStyles and Formatting, clicked Normal. Attempting to save, it's defaulting to saving as a .doc file. When I attempt to save it as "Normal.dot", it tells me "Word cannot give a document the same name as an open document...". "Suzanne S.

Default font style when opening Word
Sounds like you created a new document based on Normal.dot (if you just
double-clicked on it in an Explorer window, this is what happened, since the default action for .dot files is New).

Thanks, Suzanne. I'll give it a shot.
