Lost Normal.doc
I set my Page Setup to Custom Sizing to make QCards for a speech and now my
Normal.doc has been modified. I cannot select anything other than Custom Sizing on the Page tab from Page Setup. If I set the margins to regular page 8.5x11 I still only see/print the 4x6 settings for the Qcards. -- Lori |

Lost Normal.doc
There is no normal.doc - it is either normal.dot or normal.dotm (Word 2007).
You probably have the option to prompt to save the normal template unchecked (tools options save) and so any changes you make will be automatically saved to the normal template on closing Word. Your best plan is to check this option to put yourself back in control and rename the normal template to normal.old, which will allow Word to create a new default template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LoriMR wrote: I set my Page Setup to Custom Sizing to make QCards for a speech and now my Normal.doc has been modified.

Well that didn't work. The program continues to open the corrupted
normal.dot. I changed the info as outlined in the previous response. So now what can I do? Can I sned the normal.dot template from another computer to the one I am currently working on? -- Lori "Graham Mayor" wrote: There is no normal.doc - it is either normal.dot or normal.dotm (Word 2007).

If you have renamed the normal template to normal.old Word cannot possibly
continue to use it. If the file is missing, Word creates a new default template. Are you sure that you only have one normal template, which should be in the folder defined at Tools Options File Locations User templates? Any other normal template that you may have can be removed.
