If you need to do this for diagnostic reasons, you can start Word with the
original settings by using the /a switch (start - winword.exe /a), or by
starting Word in safe mode (press Ctrl while Word is starting, click Yes to
starting in safe mode).
If you want to reset Word to the original settings just to wipe the slate
clean, you would need to renamed or delete Normal.dotm as well as rename or
delete several registry keys. The main ones are the Options and Data keys,
which are located here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word
You can look at other settings, such as File MRU and Recent Templates, as
well, depending on how "original" you want to be.
