Hi. My name is Brie Clark and I'm a software expert. Today, I'm going to show you how to restore default blank documents in Microsoft Word. On my screen I'm going to start by using control n to create a new document in Microsoft Word. But when I do this it opens up a new document with the word testing appearing in green, so we have a problem. The problem is that somehow the normal .dot, default template got updated. So I'm going to use control w to close that document and go in and edit normal .dot to put things back to normal. To do this I'll go to file, open and I'll go to my computer and browse. And I need to browse two very specific locations. So I'll go to my C drive, users, my user name, app data, roaming, Microsoft templates and there is the normal template. So I'll click on that and click open. And here I'm just going to, first of all select that text and change it back to black and then I'll press the delete key to delete it so the document is actually blank. Then I'll just go to file, save and then file close to close that template. Now if I use control n again, I get a new blank document with plain black text. My name is Brie Clark. I'm a software expert and I just showed you how to restore normal .dot in Microsoft Word.
