HELP! Resetting MS Word 2007 to Default
My question is simple: How do I go back to default? That is, some styles have
changed that I simply find annoying. In other words, I want MS Word 2007 the way I got it out of the box without having to reinstall. Please help! -- Rolly |

HELP! Resetting MS Word 2007 to Default
For any previous version, you would rename Normal.dot and let Word build a
new one. I assume the same would be true in Word 2007 except that it would be Normal.dotm that you would rename. -- Suzanne S.

HELP! Resetting MS Word 2007 to Default
Hey Suzanne,
I try renaming Normal.dotm but I can't because I am obviously using MS Word 2007 under that template. I am really new at this, so can you show me how to fix my problem "step-by-step." I have Window Vista if it helps. Thanks. -- Rolly "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: For any previous version, you would rename Normal.dot and let Word build a new one.

In short, close the Application Word. Then rename Normal.dotm and restart
Word Application so it can rebuild Normal.dotm. www.docsliveonline.com "RLogan" wrote in message ...

As Summer points out, you have to close Word first, then delete or rename
Normal.dotm. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for tips on locating it (not written for Word 2007 or Vista, but still has some useful info). -- Suzanne S.
