    • Advice

    • After you make these changes, there are still a few settings that can only be changed by reinstalling the program completely. For example, the company name that you enter during the first installation of Word is saved in the Word program file.
    • You cannot reset Microsoft Word while the program is running. This is because Word saves configuration information at the time you shut down the program. If you make changes while the program is running, the immediate shutdown will overwrite the changed data.
    • Find more advice and troubleshooting information at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005 (for Windows)

    After using Microsoft Word for many projects, you may feel that the program no longer works as it did when you first installed it.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the Word program doesn’t help because the preferences are all saved on the computer. This article will show you how to restore the original look and settings of Microsoft Word on Windows and macOS.
