My computer recently crashed and I lost all my personal settings in Word.
How can I reenter my settings and save them so that everytime I open a new
document my settings are there, rather than the Normal.dot settings?

Many of your customized settings *are* saved in Normal.dot, and others
are in the registry.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm for a
description of what's where. If you find that you enter settings and
they don't stick, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm and the
articles linked from there.
