Hello:

I have Word 2002 on Win XP Home SP 2. Recently I noticed that all the
settings in Tools - Options had reverted to the defaults. I redid all my
settings, saved them and closed the program. When I re-opened the
program, the selections were back at the defaults.

I deleted normal.dot and re-opened Word. I made my selections in Tools -
Options and they remained so long as the program was opened. When I
closed Word I was asked whether I wanted to save changes to normal.dot.
I agreed. But the next time I opened Word, the settings were back at the
defaults!

How can I get Word to maintain my settings in Tools - Options? Thanks
for your help.
