Word Maim problem with Normal.dot

As a rule Microsoft Word is fairly reliable, but when it does go wrong it does so in spectacular fashion and in addition to closing itself down without warning, it can also take Windows with it.

When you become plagued by persistent problems people usually give up and re‐install the program, only to find that nothing has changed.

In the majority of circumstances the usual problem is a file called ʹNormal.dotʹ

This contains all of the userʹs settings, which includes macros etc.

Before you re‐install Word for the umpteenth time, try this:‐

Make a copy of your Normal.dot file, (Just in case itʹs not corrupt) and save it in another folder,

It is usually located at :‐

C:\Documents and Settings\Your name \

Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\

Now Delete the original Normal.dot and re‐boot.

Word will automatically create a new Normal.dot and return to its default settings.

Odds on that was the problem
