Sue's Word Tips saved the day!

I found this online after some digging....

She talks about how to create, change, and use templates. I just used her "change" directions and went in and changed the Normal template which had somehow ended up as a .dotm and reset the information, then saved the new version. As long as I create documents using that it seems to so far be functioning okay.


She has awesome info on that website for anyone else in a panic.

Thanks Neil for trying to help.
