Default Settings

[Guest]

Somehow all of my defaults got changed in Word 2007. I was wondering if there
was some way to restore everything back to the original defaults that it came
with?

Here's the quick way: With Word closed, rename the normal.dotm template and
delete the Data key in the registry.

See also http://word.mvps.org/faqs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm (note that these
articles do not describe the exact steps for Word 2007).

I don't have administrative privileges on this computer. Is there another
way? Or am I just going to have to wait until someone decides to make a
restore to microsoft default button and scream at my computer for a while.

Have you tried making the changes suggested? If it doesn't work, talk to the
administrator.

Indeed, it is bad practice not to allow users to have their own settings.
