Name and address showing up on creating a new word document in 200
I was creating an envelope the other day and typed in my name and return
address. Now when I open Word and click on new document it was opening up a new document that looked like an envelope in size and format and have my return address on the upper left. I've reformatted the page to by portrait and 8.5 by 11" with 1" margins, but I still get my name and address on the page. How can I reset the defaults or get rid of this permanently?

Name and address showing up on creating a new word document in
Herb,
Thanks for the help. In 2007 I was not able to delete normal.dotm. Word kept telling me that it was open even though I closed it after opening Word 2007. So I used the part of the documentation you referenced to hold down the ctrl key when opening Word 2007 and then it asked me if I wanted to open Word in Safe Mode. I said yes. So Word was open without the normal.dotm open. I was able to do Open, Templates and see the normal.dotm and right click and select delete. When I closed and reopened Word it created a new normal template and my address was gone. Thanks, Mel -- Learning new things is fun.

You cannot delete any active file. When Word is open (other than in its safe
mode), normal.dotm is an active file. There is no way you can 'close it' from Word. With Word closed you could have deleted it using Windows Explorer. In fact you would have been better renaming it as now you will have lost any required personalisations it contained. Again Word must be closed (and any orphan lock files removed - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm ) in order for you to rename it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mel wrote: Herb, Thanks for the help.
