inches of....! I'm at my wit's end. What in the world has Adobe Acrobat
done to Word? My Word was fine until I installed AA 6.0; yet its legacy still
remains!

Rename normal.dot to oldnormal.dot and see if that fixes it.

It worked! Thank you so much! Will it also work if I load Word 2003?
Will any functions be diminished by renaming normal to oldnormal.dot?

Word will create a new, factory-fresh Normal.dot. If you have any
customizations saved in Oldnormal.dot, you can retrieve some, but not all,
of them via the Organizer. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for a discussion of
which customizations are retrievable.

It should do - hopefully you are *replacing* Word 2000 with 2003. If you
install it as an upgrade it should move the files around to their new
locations. if you uninstall one then install the other the Acrobat add-in
may be in the wrong folder following the change.
Suzanne has covered the other part of your question.
