I have Windows '98. I am working with my Word program. I want to get my Settings back to their original settings for writing a letter. I messed them up myself, but don't know how to fix them. I don't know what numbers to use for the original "settings" when writing a letter, so forth. Here are my problems. First, I cannot get my margins and tabs to work right and stay where I put them. Next, I was writing a letter and when closing at the bottom where you put a line, then the person's name and address under the line, on the right ..... well, when I go to "Print Preview" under "File", it shows the line and address I was talking about, over to the LEFT of my screen and with spaces inbetween the address part. I don't know how to fix this and I must fix my settings so I can do my work. I am at my wit's end. Would you know what numbers I should be showing for the original settings to type Word documents? Please keep it very simple. I don't have much experience and I will need to know what you are talking about if I can fix it. ;o) No computer mumbo-jumbo please. ;o) I sure would appreciate your help.
 
You can reset Word back to all its default settings by renaming Normal.dot.
Word will create a new Normal.dot the next time you start Word. See
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm for
instructions.
