I simply do not have the time to learn how to be a Word power user. Before Word 2010 I just used the program with no problems. Now if I hit the wrong key or click the wrong icon the program statrs doing things I do not want. It seems the more important the document the more problems I have. Is there some universal comand to simply revert a document to default and cut throguh all the junk I do not want?

Granted, you might not want to become a 'power user', but to use Word effectively you need to spend some time learning the basics. You might start with these:
