How to reset the built-in Heading?

As title, I have applied some format to the built-in Heading1, Heading2,
etc.

How can it be reset?

Many thanks.

Format>Styles and Formatting

Change the formatting to what you want, select the Entire Paragraph, then
select the style name in the lower window of the task pane and choose
"Update to match selection".

To get back to the default setting:

1) Quit Word

2) Rename the Normal.dot template

3) Start Word, use Tools>Set Language to set the language you prefer to
work in, then click the Default button. This forces a save of the new
template created when Word starts.

4) Quit Word again.

5) Restart Word.

All styles will now be back to their default formatting. If you have some
valuable customisations (macros, toolbars, keystrokes etc...) in your old
Normal template, perform the rest of this procedure. Otherwise, you've
finished here: carry on, using the template you just created.

6) Open your Old Normal template

7) Use Organiser (look it up in the Help) to copy all of the styles from
your NEW Normal Template to your OLD Normal template.

8) Quit Word again

9) Rename your NEW Normal template

10) Rename your Old Normal template back to just "normal.dot"

11) Restart Word.

Hope this helps

Assuming you haven't affected the formatting in the Normal.dot template, go
to Tools/Template and Add-ins/Organizer. Click on the "Styles" tab. Select
the Heading styles in the window on the right (Normal.dot), then click
COPY. This should copy the default style definitions into the active file
(document or template), overwriting what you currently have.
