I have a document that I can open on one PC in our office and the TOA
categories are completely different than the default categories. The
same document opened on another PC has the default TOA categories. If
I create a new document on the first PC, the TOA categories are the
strange ones. How can I restore the default TOA categories? I have
deleted the normal.dot and the alien categories still appear. In
searching for an answer, I've read that the TOA categories are saved in
the normal.dot and then I've also read that they are a registry
setting. I just want to get back to the original defaults.

Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, I don't see where you can "reset" them. However, you can
ALT+SHIFT+I in the offending computer, and then Replace them with the
correct list.

The TA field uses number switches to get the label out of the categories
field that is stored on the current computer, which is why your document
when traveling from one computer to another changes categories, when
updated.
