How to return to all default settings

[Crockett]

I've got Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit and have got Word so screwed up I want to return it to all it's default settings.

How do I return my Word document (when I open a new document) to the default settings like it was right out of the box?

Thanks,
Crockett

It depends on what changes you made. The simple start is to recreate tne normal.dotm template. With Word closed, rename the existing template. Then open Word.
If that doesn't fix your problem, write back with exactly what was changed and I or someone else will tell you how to get it back.

For an idea of where else changes get stored, take a look at Word 2007 & Later Key Data File Locations.
