How Can You Fix - Changing style won't "stick"?

Changing style won't "stick"

Using Word 2010, I had "Normal" set up Times New Roman (12 pt) and single spacing.
Everything's been fine for over a year.
Today Normal defaults to Calibri 11 and multiple.
I can change to what I want for the current document, but it doesn't hold for future
documents.
I don't understand why what I had set up became undone, and I have no clue how to get it back.

Something happened to your normal.dotm default template.
That was where your change was stored.
Something, possibly something else, is preventing your from storing changes to normal.dotm.

The something preventing changes (and possibly what changed your normal.dotm) is most likely a poorly written Add-In program.
I am assuming you are not on a corporate network with an IT department that might have fiddled with your system.

Short term, open your normal.dotm file on your screen and make the change there.
Then save the file.

Long term, figure out what the blocking program is.
Check what Add-Ins you may have.
You may not have added them; another program that you installed could have done it without telling you.

Enable or disable add-ins in Office programs - Support - Office.com.
It could be anything, from any company, but recently there have been problems with a couple of Add-Ins having to do with bluetooth.

Manually editing the Windows registry

Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, please do not edit the Windows registry manually.

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as SmartPCFixer Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that repairing registry errors can also dramatically improve system speed and performance.

• Click the Start button.
• Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!
• While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.
• You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
• Click Yes.
• A black box will open with a blinking cursor.
• Type "regedit" and hit ENTER.
• In the Registry Editor, select the Error 0x9C-related key (eg. Windows Operating System) you want to back up.
• From the File menu, choose Export.
• In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Windows Operating System backup key.
• In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as "Windows Operating System Backup".
• In the Export Range box, be sure that "Selected branch" is selected.
• Click Save.
• The file is then saved with a .reg file extension.
• You now have a backup of your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION-related registry entry.

The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.
