Bad practice to throw in a second unrelated question, pasdetrois, chances
are no one will see it.

No, you don't need to reinstall. Generating a new Normal template should do
the trick, see this links:

And read this one for your own edification:

I hope the "lovely" is sarcastic. Make sure you save the Old Normal
template so that you can give the client back their settings when you leave.

Meanwhile, as I am having to work on a client's PC, how do I restore the
lovely default Word styles and numbering/bulleting defaults? Someone has
revised them many times over and made a mess and I cannot get them back. Does
the software have to be re-installed?
