Re: jaws and msword

Here's a way to load the normal.dot file that's a little less trouble: Find 
the file in Windows Explorer as described below. Now just hit Enter on it. 
Just as would happen with any Word document file, if Word's already open 
then normal.dot will simply load into Word. If Word isn't open at the 
moment, Word will launch and normal.dot will open in it. So if you've gone 
to the bother of locating it under Documents and Settings, you won't have to 
launch Word, then put up the Open screen, then type in the path and 
filename. Again, this will work just the same as if you'd located a Word 
document by looking around in Windows Explorer and clicked on its filename.

Now of course, if you're sitting in Word and you want to open the normal.dot 
file from there, of course you can call up the Open procedure and type in 
the path and filename and press Enter. But if you're already at the filename 
in Windows Explorer, there's no need to do that.

Hope that's helpful.

Hi Tom,
I just want to say thanks for this info. I too had this problem but didn't
know if it was just me or what. I have since corrected it with your great
instructions and I can now get a good night's sleep.

  Hi,
  Sean writes:

  I have a somewhat unrelated MSWord problem: When ever I set the view to
  normal, it goes back to print view when I close then re-open the document.
  How do I fix this?

  Try this:
  1. Locate your normal.dot file.  You'll probably find it at

  C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application
  Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dot

  In the path above, USERNAME refers to your particular user profile and its
  corresponding subfolder under "documents and settings".

  2.  Open Word.
  3. Do a ctrl+o, then type the path to the normal.dot file as shown above,
  substituting the folder name that corresponds to your user profile in the
  path.

  4. When the normal.dot file opens, go to the View menu and select Normal
by
  pressing Enter.

  5.  Do a ctrl+s to save the normal.dot file.

  6.  Start a fresh word document and see if normal view is the default.  It
  should be.



  Hope this helps.

  Tom
