Word templates are normally stored in:
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Temp lates\
File names end in .dot, .dotx or .dotm

To open a template for editing, select the 'All Word templates' option in Word's File|Open dialogue.

This won't affect any existing documents and it's not apparent how such a 'corruption' affecting a template could ripple through to your existing documents.
I tried renaming the Normal template and I got thus error message.

"The action can't be completed because the file is open in Word. Close the file and try again.

Normal.dotm

Type: Microsift Word macro-enabled template

Try again"

So what do I do now?
