The options you mention are application-wide and should be saved. If you
find they are not being saved, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm. Note, however, that
a damaged Word Data key is not the only explanation; sometimes add-ins
change your settings, and the only solution for that is to ditch the problem
add-in.

When using Word 2003, I know how to change a number of the settings and
options while I am working on that document.
But, how can I change those settings so they will stay that way when I
start create new documents, edit old documents, etc.?
For example, I do not want Word 2003 to automatically capitalize the first
letter of each line or sentence. And, I do not want it to automatically
create numbered or bulleted lists. I know how to change that each time I
am using Word 2003. But, how can I set it so those types of options are
the default every time I use Word 2003?
Thanks.
