How to set 'Blank Document' to standard size

Michael Graubart · #1 02-17-2017, 10:21 AM

I use Word 2016 on a Mac with macOS 10.12.3 (Sierra).

In the Mac's System Preferences my default paper size is set to A4, portrait orientation. But, apparently as a result of creating a number of A5 (landscape) documents, when I now open Word and choose 'Blank Document', it opens as an A5 (landscape) document. I realize that I can create a new template to get round this, but I wonder if there is any way of persuading the native Blank Document option to revert to its original A4 (portrait) form.

Should I try to locate the Word preference files in my user's library and delete them?

Hi!

You must open your Normal.dotm file. Do the changes you want. Save and close Word.

That's it.

How to Open the Normal Template
Make sure that you open it. Do create a new document based on it.
