Default Stuck in Columns Format

I seem to be stuck in the "columns" format. I cannot get back to the regular
Word document defaults. I've tried page set-up - will not let me change
anything. I've tried to remove Word and reinstall it - no luck. The only
way I was able to use it is to select the 1-column format and change the
margins. Now I can't even do that, I have to open a document, delete
everything in it, write my document and save it.

It sounds to me as if you have saved some settings in your Normal.dot
template that should not be there. If this is correct, you will find help in
this article:
