Restore Word Default Settings
For the most part, you can do this by performing the following two steps:
1. Delete or rename Normal.dotm (delete or rename any leftover Normal.dot files from earlier versions of Word, too, if you have any); and, 2. Delete or rename the Word entry in the registry. It's located he HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord I say "for the most part" because there are additional but less noticeable things that are stored in other files. You can do this more thoroughly by creating a new user profile on your computer. A new "environment" for Word will be created, and it will appear as first installed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Angel" wrote in message news Hi, I really need to restore all the original default settings for Word 2007, so that it is set up the way it was when I first installed it.

With Word not running, rename the Normal.Dotm template to OldNormal.Dotm and
then restart Word. The templates are usualling located in the c:\Documents and Setting\[User Name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates folder. -- Hope this helps.
