I don't know how I've managed to do this, but each time I create a new
document I get a document with words appear, etc, rather than the usual blank
template.

I have opened the normal.dot template and saved it with all the wordings
removed, but Word still opens with this other document from this worded
template.

How can I ensure that Word opens with a blank document generated from the
normal.dot?

Hi Kim

See
Why is my "Blank Document" not blank?
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm

Each machine should have only one normal.dot. In Word, at Tools Options
File Locations, identify the "User Templates" folder. That is where
normal.dot should be, and that's the one you need to edit.

Hope this helps.
