MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2005Style
I have the Normal, APA writing style that is loading on new documents. Can I open (default) new documents with no style or with Normal (not APA) writing style. I'm not sure I understand your problem. You may need to completely reset normal.dot. (See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm.) Or you may simply want to change the defaults (See http://www.addbalance.com/word/defaultfont.htm) You may also want to look at "How to change the default settings for Word documents" http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htmv  SignatureCharles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

It is possible that I inadvertently changed the normal.dot but I don't have a clue how I did it. I followed the instruction for opening normal.dot and it opened as a new document with the APA writing style. APA is a college style that inserts a 5 space hanging indent on all subsequent lines after the first. I do not want any style when opening a new document. Is the description clearer? Did you look at the linked pages?. They tell how to handle both kinds of problems. BTW APA is probably American Psychological Association which seems to be a standard for scholarly writing.
