Normal.dotm- exclamation mark on file icon
Somehow my normal.dotm has become corrupted - Normal.dotx is OK but I cannot
replace normal.dotm or edit as it says I am already in there. Tried setting up on alternate drive etc to no avail. |

Normal.dotm- exclamation mark on file icon
Hi Hazel,
In Word 2007 templates that are saved enabled the for active content (.dotM) do have an exclamation mark on the icon. If the template is being shown as already in use and checking the Windows task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) does not show Winword.exe (Word) or Outlook running then you may want to try using Start=Search and locating files found using the string ~$*.*;*.tmp and recycling those temp files then start Word and open Normal.dotm or rename Normal.dotm then restart Word to create a new one when exiting Word. ==================== "Hazel" wrote in message ...
