Reset or initialize Microsoft Word setting

I believe that many people will set certain settings when using Microsoft Word but forget them. 
It may cause inconvenience in use, so I want to restore the original settings. 
Some people may choose to reinstall Microsoft Word, but this is quite time-consuming.


Now I will introduces two methods for everyone:

1. Download the relevant program directly from the official Microsoft website, just follow the steps in the "Fix it Wizard" and proceed.


2.Modify the registry (this step is more troublesome, and if the operation is improper, it may cause the operating system to be unusable. So you must be very careful)

2.1 Navigate to Start and input regedit.exe. and the look for the register data in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\, there are a lot of version, please look for related version as below:



Word 2019
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word
Word 2016
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word
Word 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word
Word 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word
Word 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word
Word 2002
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word
Word 2000
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word

rename Word  to OldWord in case there are some problem, we can recover it. just right Click and then click "rename"

 




After modification, please restart Microsoft Word. 
At this point, Microsoft Word has been restored to the initial status look like it was newly installed.
