Getting back to built-in heading styles in 2007
Hi,
I'm learning to use Word 2007 and I have modified the built-in heading styles for purposes of using outline view. Now I'd like to go back and use the built-in styles instead. What's the best way to get rid of my modified styles? I've thought of changing normal.dot to normal.old and letting Word create a new normal.dot. Since I'm just starting out with Word 2007, I won't miss the present normal.dot. Will this work? Good luck, Dan

Yes, but note that it's Normal.dotm you're looking for.

Thanks, Suzanne.
Why normal.dotm? I haven't constructed any macros yet. You can see I'm just finding my way in 2007! Gratefully, Dan "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Because the global template is normal.dotm. If you have a normal.dot it is
legacy and it isn't being used. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Daniel Schaffer" wrote in message ... Thanks, Suzanne. Why normal.dotm? I haven't constructed any macros yet.

Thanks for the explanation. I was expecting normal.dotx to be the global
template. Good luck, Dan S "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Because the global template is normal.dotm.

I can see why you would think that, but I guess because Normal is where
macros are saved by default, it has to be macro-enabled to begin with. -- Suzanne S.
