I was learning how to modify the HEADER 1 and HEADER 2 options and didn't
save them with a different name. The more I tried to make new formats, the
worse it got. I eventually ended up with about only 10 options in available
styles. Our IT department ran a repair program and it restored it to my
original messed up formats.
How can I get back or restore to the default formatting?

Locate the Normal.dot template, rename it, and restart Word.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm for instructions.
