Microsoft Word Trouble

[visualuser]

This is not a big deal, but I was wondering if someone knew of a way to get all the microft word settings back to normal after people have been playing in the settings.

We have some templates, but on some machines they dont' work right because they played around in the settings and messed word up.

Any suggestions?

MS KB Article Q211793:

SUMMARY
=======

This article describes various methods for resetting user options and registry settings in Microsoft Word.

MORE INFORMATION
================

There are two basic kinds of options that a user can define in Word. The first kind affects the way the program operates. The information for this kind of option is usually stored in the Windows registry. The second kind of option affects the formatting or appearance of one or more documents. The information for this option is stored in templates or documents.

When you troubleshoot odd behavior in the program or in a document, first eliminate the possibility that the problem is caused by a combination of options and formatting. If the behavior in question occurs in multiple documents, it may be useful to reset the user settings to the "factory" defaults either temporarily or permanently. To do this, use one of the methods listed in the following table.

Method Result

Hold SHIFT to prevent automatic macros from starting. Temporary

Start Word with the /a switch. Temporary

Rename the Normal template. Temporary or
Permanent

Run Detect and Repair. Permanent

Edit or delete registry entries. Permanent
