Hello :)
I have a problem with my Word: I don't know what happened, but my settings have changed.
For example, the size of the "normal" font I usually use has changed, there are no more margins at the top of the document when I start typing, etc.
It's really bothering me because it changes all my habits and makes me lose a lot of time.
So, I would like to reset all the settings to start fresh. Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks and have a nice day :)

Hello Marji,
Close Word; < Windows >< e > => File Explorer window
Go to this folder:
C:\Users\Marji\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
AppData is a hidden folder, so either you display hidden files
and folders, or you type the entire address manually
in the address bar.
In this folder, you will see the file: Normal.dotm
Delete it, so the next time you launch Word, a new
Normal.dotm will be recreated, and you should find all your
usual settings; but be careful: if you had made any
customizations in Word, they will be lost (as they were saved in the old Normal.dotm), and you will have to recreate all your customizations.
Best regards. 😊
