Text from previous doc keeps reappearing when opening Word
When opening Word, text from a previous document automatically appears. When
I click on new document I get a new file name (Document2) but the text is still there. Any help would be appreciated. |

You have saved the document as normal.dot - see

Your normal.dot probably got corrupted. Search for it (make sure you set
FOoder Options to Show Hidden Files) and delete it. Then restart Word. NOte: If while closing Word you are asked if you want to save changes to the global template, the answer is nealrt always NO. That message means that some changes have been made to the template. Unless you specifically made some changes to the normal.dot, never OK any changes. "Sammy" wrote in message ...

article that Sammy cited. uprnyer wrote: help me... I have the same problem.. but when I go to explore to find normal.dot under files... it does not appear??? |
