As I already mentioned...the links have a renegade 3D in them. Let's try
again and see if this time it works????=20

Note that the ending of each should be ?ID=3D### with ONLY a 3 digit =
number.
If you get the characters ?=3D3D### in the link again, just move your =
cursor
over them and delete them.
<sigh>What a pain!</sign>

Linda is on a much needed vacation right now. So allow me to pass you =
=3D
this
TechTrax article which explains how to move around in Windows to find =
=3D
what
you need...
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=3D3D189
And also this TechTrax article which explains Normal.dot.
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=3D3D151
And finally...know that you can download Greg's free Word Options =3D
Utility
(see this article for details and download link:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=3D3D162) =
=3D
which will
show you where all the options folder are and what your option =
settings =3D
are
set to. This will show you where your normal.dot template is located =
(in =3D
the
template dir) so you'll have the path.=3D20
Once you have that, it's just a matter or learning how to turn on the =
=3D
file
extensions in Windows to see them. And that's explained in the first
article.

Hi Linda,
Yesterday I spent time with the senior who has this problem & I =
followed
your instructions to the letter. After following each step
carefully...three times...I still could not find normal.dot. So the =
=3D
problem
still persists. I will be seeing her again next week. Please try to =
=3D
figure
this one out.
I don't know what I could be doing wrong. Your instructions are quite
clear.
Thanks
Jan

Jan. Like I have told you before, in Windows XP, both normal.dot and =
=3D
the
application data folder are hidden...go into My Computer and click =
on =3D
the
Tools menu and choose Folder Options. In there, click on the View =
Tab =3D
and
put a check where it says "Show hidden files and folders" and =
UNCHECK
"Hide
extensions for known file types" and "Hide protected operating =
system
files". Now, when you search for it, you should find it.
And, it's "normal.dot" not "normal.doc"....and deleting it is what =
you
should do...make sure Word is closed when you do tho

Subject: [mso] Old Problem with normal doc
Hello all,
I wrote about his problem quite a few months ago, but due to my =3D
seniors
illness it got put aside until she was better. =3D20
The following is a summary of the problem that still needs =
resolving:
She wrote a letter and somehow saved it on the 'Normal document' so =
=3D
now
every time she clicks on New instead of getting a blank document she =
=3D
gets
this same letter. I have tried to delete the Normal doc but it is =
in
'data
applications & believe it or not I can't find 'Data Application" =3D
within
her
office program. I even ran a search and cannot find it. Now on my
computer
it is easily found. She is running XP. I got so frustrated that I
uninstall the Office program & reinstalled it and that didn't change
anything. Every time she clicks on New that darn letter appears. =
It =3D
is
driving her crazy & she is driving me crazy. Please offer some =3D
solution.
Thanks
Jan
