Thanks for the advice. I tried this but for some reason it wouldn't let me
change the style, so I deleted the hyperlink style it was using, it then
reverted to normal and I recreated the hyperlink style and saved the document
again as the normal.dot... it works fine now.

Open the file normal.dot. Change the style of the first paragraph to normal

I've set templates up to work, however if you click on the icon for
new blank document it opens the template but defaults to a style
within it rather than the normal style.. any ideas how I can change
this icon to open the 'normal.dot' template?
