After some Windows updates my Normal.dotm started to open up with different settings. I deleted it from its Template location several times, hoping that Word restart would go back to previous settings but it didn’t.
Even more confusing is the fact that if I use opening option “New” by right-clicking on the Template it will give me corrupted file but if I use “Open” option the file with correct formatting will open. This means every time I open Word using any desktop or menu shortcut, it will open corrupt document. This is after I manually changed my shortcuts as well, just in case.
By “corrupt” I mean completely different settings than default should have and this is without previous manual alteration by me. I always use “Print Layout” view and it has no ruler on left side and cursor starts right at the top of the page with zero margins. When I check the settings for “Top Margins” it is set to 1 inch as the default should be.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
