Question Word not holding custom default settings

Hi all



I have installed the Office 2010 Pro Plus x86 on my new HP PC that has Win7 x64 bit Home Premium.

The problem is that none of the custom settings that I make in Word, or other Office programs, such as Margins, Fonts, line spacing, etc. will hold from one time to the next. I tell it to make these the default settings for all documents but, each time I open a new document, the settings have reverted back to the original defaults. This is very frustrating and I am not sure how to resolve the problem.

I have used the MS Office x86 on other x64 bit Vista Ultimate and there was no problem with new default settings staying.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Short method, open the normal template directly and make your modifications there. See Normal Template in Microsoft Word - How to Open

Chances are good that you have an Add-In that is preventing the routine saving of changes to the Normal template in the background.

Check on your Developer Tab and look for both kinds of Add-Ins. Turn them off and try saving changes to the defaults. If you figure out which one(s) cause the problem, consider uninstalling them.
