Replace the Normal.Dot Template
Hi!.
I use MS Word 2003 Pro and MS Windows XP Pro (v. 2002 SP 3), which I keep up to date. I had problems with Word and it appears that the Normal.Dot Template was corrupted. I re-named the file and Word now works. How can I replace the template? Thank you. Dr. T.

When you rename the template, Word recreates a Normal template with the factory default settings. You may want to delete the corrupt template, but, beyond that, you don't have to do anything.

Stefan,
Thank you for your prompt response to my query. I confirmed that the Normal.Dot Template is there and Word now appears to be working ok. I deleted the re-named template, which, by the way, was huge. Dr. T.
