A document was opened in Word with different formatting than default type
settings. Now all documents have the formatting applied. Any clues how to
get back the original formats? TIA.

Are you in Normal view? If changing to Print Layout view fixes the
problem, then make sure that "Draft font" is cleared on the View menu
of Tools>Options.

On the other hand, if the problem affects new documents (not existing
ones), try to rename the normal template so that Word creates a fresh
copy for you; instructions can be found at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/...ocNotBlank.htm (see "Method
1" in the "The simplest fix: cleaning up Normal.dot" section).

Of course, I meant to say "View tab", not "View menu".
