Fixing MS Word 2007 Default Template
I've ran into a problem that has bugged me to no end. For some unknown
reason, each time I open up Word 2007, I get something called "document4" and the margins are horribly wrong. I've assumed that something happened to my Normal template so I've done a search for it and came up with nothing. How do I change back to my default settings or add a "Normal" template to whatever location it should go into? |

Fixing MS Word 2007 Default Template
In the folder C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates, find the file Normal.dotx (or it might be Normal.dotm if you have created any macros in it) and rename it to Normal.old. Then restart Word and it will create a new Normal.dotx template. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

It is Normal.dotm by default, I believe, Doug.

Fixing MS Word 2007 Default Template
It will not however fix the 'Document4' issue which is more likely caused by
orphaned lock files - http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm and I wouldn't be at all surprised if http://www.gmayor.com/white_space.htm fixes the margins isue. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
