Agreed. The referenced article, I noticed, does suggest Normal.old or
Oldnormal.dot, but I think that just reflects my ignorance at the time I was
writing it.

You should really rename them as normal.old or normal.bad because with a
.dot extension, Windows will still see them as a template. Then it doesn't
matter how many you create. But sure, delete the oldest.

Thanks JoAnn,
That's a useful tip, and I'll try to remember it for future!
By the way, I'm using "Word2002", and noticed when fixing this problem
the
other day, that on both occasions that I have needed to do so, there were
two
instances of the Global template in existence at the same time.
I've now got two"Normalold.dot's" and two "oldNormal.dot's" I think maybe
now
it's safe to delete one set, at least!
Regards.
Geoff Vost.

You should only have one normal.dot. Have you tried using Windows
Explorer?
