Jan. Like I have told you before, in Windows XP, both normal.dot and the
application data folder are hidden...go into My Computer and click on the
Tools menu and choose Folder Options. In there, click on the View Tab 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 seniors
illness it got put aside until she was better.
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 now
every time she clicks on New instead of getting a blank document she 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" 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 is
driving her crazy & she is driving me crazy. Please offer some solution.
Thanks
Jan
