Vivian, I will be working with her Tuesday & I will give this a shot. I just followed your instructions on my computer & found it so I am hopeful it will be the same on hers. Thank you so much, Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: Vgt To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 5:07 PM Subject: [mso] Re: New document isn't new Hi Jan, I hope this helps. From within WORD: 1. Go to Tools/ Templates and add-ins.In the document template section Normal.dot should be selected. 2. On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins. 3. Click Attach, Normal.dot should be in the list, if not the only file listed. 4. Click the "Look in" drop down menu and remember the path to the Normal. dot. Now exit Word - locate the file and delete it.

This problem has not improved. I ran a find & it could not find the file normal.dot. In frustration I uninstalled the entire Office software & reinstalled it hoping that would make the difference. Well, much to my surprise, it did not change anything. Every time she clicks on 'new' document she keeps getting a copy of the same letter that she did months ago. Please, try to get her back to normal. Thanks, Jan ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda F.

Open Word again and it should be fine. Normal.dot is a new blank document. I will send you this month's ABC privately now, Jan.

When she clicks on "new" either the blank paper icon under file or whether she clicks file>new it opens with a letter that she wrote to someone four or five months ago. Some months ago, when she wrote the letter she apparently didn't 'save as' but may she just 'save' changes??? Anyway she couldn't get rid of this letter so ran a search & threw everything with that persons name on it away, & emptied recycle bin. But still every time she clicks on new up comes that letter. There must be a place where we can reset the New document to open blank & I would appreciate your guidance. By the way Linda, never received this months ABC, could you please resend?
