Word won't retain custom settings

[donwb]

Win XP Home. MS Office 2003
Normally MS Word would always display the same view as when I left it.
However just recently, it has decided to display settings which I did not
select.
These are, the Vertical and Horizontal Rulers, no Text Boundaries,
and 150% Zoom instead of my "standard" 95%.
I have tried Repair MS Office and Reinstalled Word, neither of which made
any difference.
If I change these settings manually and log out of Word,
they are retained for the current session,
but next time the PC is booted, the incorrect settings re-appear.
Any suggestions please.

Sometimes that behavior indicates a damaged Data Key in the registry
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/DataKeySettings.htm), but
more often -- especially with Word 2003 -- it just loses things. Take
a look at the section "Auto... macros" at the end of
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for a way of forcing the
settings you want each time Word starts.
