Out of the blue, whenever I open up Word, the formatting has changed. The
page has a color fill and the font changed. Nobody else uses my computer. How did the formatting change, and how can I set my own standard formatting when opening a new file? |

I renamed the "normal.com" file, but Word keeps opening up a document that
looks like the old one. So I deleted "normal.com" file, but Word keeps opening up a new document still looking like the old one. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

If you really renamed Normal.com, then you renamed the wrong thing. It's
Normal.dot you need to rename, and you need to be sure you've found the right one. -- Suzanne S.

Maybe I should ask this question first:
In Word 2003 what formatting should a blank document open with? I'm getting white font on blue background, 12pt Times New Roman. I can't remember if that is default. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

The White text on a Blue background is a (sticky) setting under
ToolsOptionsView. It is independent of the Normal.Dot Template (and I guess I am not sure where that setting is stored). However, once you change it, it will stay the way that you set it. Otherwise 12pt Times New Roman is probably the default. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Oh for crying out loud...how did I miss that?
You're right, after unselecting the option "white text on blue" it saved it as a default. Sorry for wasting bandwidth.
