Hi Jo, Below are 2 different notes that I've saved & used in Word 2010 so, I'm sure they'll work for you as well:
From: Jean Menzies Creating a new Normal template with the page numbers you want is fairly easy. First, though, you should make a backup of your normal.dotm template. Based on Windows 8.1 and Word 2013, there are some steps to follow 1. Make sure you can see hidden folders and files on your PC. I will asume you know how to do that. 2. Close Word. 3. Go to C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ Templates. Arrow down to Normal.dotm and rename it to something like OldNormal.dotm. Note that if you simply delete this file, Word will automatically create a new Normal.dotm template when you open Word. 4. Open Word. 5. Start a new blank document however you do that. 6. Make any changes you want to anything. That includes page number styles, font, etc. 7. Unless you want it, delete any visible text you may have typed as you set up the things you want files to be based on. 8. Go to the File menu and choose Save As. 9. Not sure what you'll see, but you may only see a list of folders to choose from, etc. Ignore that and tab to the Browse button. Press enter. 10. Tab to the File Type combo box and arrow down until you hear the file type called Word Macro-Enabled template (*.dotm). That's what you want. 11. In the filename box, type Normal and press enter. 12. You have now saved a new Normal template that will be used for every new document. Note that if you mess up or panic or want to revert to your old file, just go back into the Templates folder and rename your OldNormal.dotm back to Normal.dotm. Or, just delete the Normal.dotm file you have and let Word rebuild one from its default settings. For those who want to know wen their templates get changed, you can also have Word tell you when changes are made and it will ask you if you want to save changes to the template. That's typically if you create macros, etc. That setting is under the Save options Jean From: Brian Lee Here are steps for trying to reset your normal template without deleting it, followed by steps for deleting the normal template so it can be created again when you restart your computer and launch Word again. If you have no macros or specially created styles then you might want to just delete the template. Otherwise you can try the first set of steps shown below to restore the defaults. Restoring default settings to the template: 1. Type or paste the following into the Windows start menu search box: %appdata%\microsoft\templates 2. Find the normal.DOTM file. 3. Ppress the application key and arrow down to the Open menu item. 4. Press enter key to open the template. 5. To delete any unwanted text use CTRL+a (the select all command) and press the delete key. 6. Press CTRL+A again and press delete key again. This deletes the ending paragraph mark that remains after deleting unwanted text. 7. Press Ctrl+Space Bar. This sets the character formatting for the paragraph back to its default based on the underlying style. 8. Press Ctrl+Q. This sets the paragraph formatting for the paragraph back to its default, again based on the underlying style. 9. Save the template. 10. Restart the computer. 11. Start Word. Deleting the Normal.DOTM file: 1. Press the Windows key and type or paste the following path into the search box: %appdata%\microsoft\templates 2. Find the normal.DOTM file and delete it. 3. Restart your computer to register the changed entries in the registry. 4. Open Word. The default should be Calibri font with a size of 11 point and the normal style being used. I hope you get it working. Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

Hi, Microsoft Word is acting goofy. I'm trying to address an envelope which I've been doing for years, but now when I hit enter for the next line, JAWS says B. and when I try to read by character, it doesn't announce the space. If I go on, it appears to be writing on the same line even though I hit enter for a new line. I think some setting has been changed. I'm sure there's someone out there on this extremely savvy list who can explain how I can set MS Word back to default settings. I'm running MSW 2010 on a Windows 7 Computer with latest version of JAWS. Thanks in advance for any help.
