MS Word in Dock of my iMac opening new files in US letter format.
This could be a Microsoft problem but also Mac one too.
Recently I have been trying to sort out some printing problems with an Imac running High Sierra - a project in progress.
What I have discovered by accident is weird Dock performance. (Probably going on for years as I don’t use this Imac)
If I open MS Word in Applications it opens with a blank A4 document.
If I make an alias and put on the desktop when opening it again creates a blank A4 document
The Word application is in Dock.
When I select Word from the dock icon it opens with a blank document in US Letter, I want A4.
I have delete the dock icon and dragged Word application to dock to recreate it.
I have spent hours trying to find out why and hence a solution. Tried amongst other things deleting dock plist type files, trying to create/modify templates. Deleted templates eg Normal.dotm in many places. Booted in Safe Boot……...
I have reinstalled the last Security Update as that sometimes works.
I have searched the net extensively.
Has anyone come across such behaviour or suggest what I need to do which I might not have already tried. (Reinstalling MSOffice or MacOs are not options).
