How do I reset page setup to original factory settings

[Ineluctable]

When you go into page setup in Word there is a "Default" button which I
mistook for a "Reset to Defualt". Now every time I open a new document the
margins are jacked up. How do I reset the page setup back to the original
settings?

Thanks

Two ways. If you have not made any other changes in Normal.dot, you can
rename it and force Word to generate a fresh copy (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm)

If you just need to reset the margins to their factory defaults, you can set
these values and click Default... again:

Top: 1"
Bottom: 1"
Left: 1.25"
Right: 1.25"
Header: 0.5"
Footer: 0.5"

In English versions of Word, the default margins are 1.25" left
and right, 1" top and bottom, and 0.5" header and footer. You
can set these margins in File | Page Setup, and then press the
Default button.

When I open a new document the page settings are already set to the settings
that you have suggested. Yet the cursor is at the extreme top edge of the
document. The Normal.dot template is not present when I follow the path to
where it should be. Any other thoughts?

Oh, that's an entirely different situation. See
