I opened an e-mail that had a word document attached to it. Somehow, when I
saved it, the "Blank Documnet" template was modified. Now, everytime I open
Word, the New Document contains the text of the e-mail that I saved. I tried
to delete the Blank Document but Word won't let me. Says it is a shared
file. I tried to change it and save it, no good. I ran a virus scan and
everything is ok.

i even UNINSTALLED 2000 professional and reinstalled it. When I started
word, the text was still there. I created a new Blank Document Template with
a different name but I do not know how to change the default with Word. It
is very frustrating. Any ideas. Please help.

Thanks in advance
