How do i find the normal.dot template in order to rename it, the only thing i
can find is blank document under file new then on the bottom right, i see
document or template. But nothing on normal.dot.

Try renaming the normal.dot template to normal.old and then restart Word.
None of the things that you have done will have any effect on that template
so it may be the problem.

Hi, I wonder if any of you geniuses can help me out. I have Office 2000,
and
all of a sudden when im in word i get the following error.

"There was a problem starting the Office Assistant. Would you like to try
reinstalling it".

I have tried reinstalling, and uninstalling office alltogether and then
reinstalling office. However this error still comes up every time i open
word
and its so annoying.

Can anyone help me out.

Regards
