Default make a really default template

Once upon a time you could use File | New and click the Template radio
button and get a truly default template. It didn't carry baggage from
the Normal template or from a document used to make a template.
Everything in it came from the Word defaults in the executable.

In Word 2002 we are blessed with the New Document Task Pain. Is there
a way to get a truly default template in Word 2002?

Default

Word has always based new blank documents on Normal.dot. This has not
changed since Word for DOS. Are you having problems with the blank document
(see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm) or do you want
access to the File New dialog or what?
