I'm trying to reset everything in Publisher.

I've gone through clicking each button to be really thorough.

I get a confirmation screen for every button on the list except the last (Reset Fonts). Nothing happens when I click the button. Should it?

Also Reset Default Text Styles.. should that result in No Style being set to Arial? (It's not).

Hope that's plain English enough for folks.

As "No Style is not a style, I don't think Reset Default Text Styles would change it. But I've never tried that one. If you tried it, and it didn't, then no, it doesn't.

I would expect Reset Default Text Styles to undo the Text Styles panel function that sets the Default Text Styles.

If you really mean everything, close the application. Then press and hold the Ctrl key while you start the application again. Keep it pressed until you get the Clear User Defaults dialog. (On Windows you may need to watch for the application icon to show up on the taskbar, and click on it, while still keeping Ctrl pressed.)

Once you get the dialog, release the Ctrl key, choose what you want to reset, and press Clear.

Thanks @walt.farrell. Interesting, it is Ctrl on the mac.

I've done this now thank you.

For anyone happening along here. Reset User Defaults Mac. If you have the app in your Dock, you'll get the pop-up menu and will need to choose Open while keeping the Ctrl key down. Then you'll get a panel you've probably not seen before with a long list of tick boxes.

Great resource explaining the tick boxes:
