George,

I am a fan of manually dumping preferences. I guess I like to do things the hard way.

I don’t use Windows 8; however the path may be similar to Windows 7. See if you have the following:

C:\Users\INSERTYOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\InDesign Defaults
C:\Users\ INSERTYOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\Caches\InDesign SavedData

If you, copy them to a safe place and remove the originals. The next time you start up InDesign, it will rebuild them.

Let me know if that works. If the path is different for Windows 8 and you found it, let us know.
