MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / November 2004Virgin Default Template
How can I get Word (2003) to give a completely blank template on startup? I am tired of fighting with these auto bullets, paragraph numbers, etc.. I understand how to save a template but I can't seem to get one completely clear of all formatting. -- Thanks in advance...

SignatureRegards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Bob, The automatic formatting of text entered in paragraphs as bulleted lists or numbered lists is due to the default settings in the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box. These settings are stored in Windows registry and, if checked, are "active" in any document you are creating. To turn them off: Click AutoCorrect Options on the Tools menu and click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. Clear the Automatic bulleted lists and Automatic numbered lists check box and click OK Jon > How can I get Word (2003) to give a completely blank template on startup?
