Did this happen after a computer crash where Microsoft Word was 
open? If so, the normal.dot file was probablly corrupted. I have fixed 
similar problems in the past with Office 2000 and 2003 by closing 
Word, running a search for normal.dot and deleting that (or those of 
there is more than one) file. You can also rename normal.dot to 
something like normal.old if you do not feel comfortable deleting 
files. When you restart MS Word, it will automatically recreate the 
normal.dot file. The downside to this is you will lose any 
customization you may have added to the normal.dot file, such as 
1 inch margins instead of 1.25 inch, different fonts and sizes you 
may have made default in the standard styles, etc.
I assume this fix will also work with older versions of Word, but I 
would rename the normal file just to be safe.
