Recently my MS Word 2000 has developed the following
glitch.
When I open the program instead of a blank page there
appears the opening page of a file which I had created
some time before but had deleted. When I click the 'open
new page' icon, the same thing happens. And so on for any
further effort to secure a blank page. In all cases the
old file with its appears on my screen. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the MS Word Program, but the
problem remains. I cannot locate the rogue file on my
computer. Nor can I locate the Normal.Dot file. Could
this be a fault with my Operating System, Windows XP Home
Edition with Service Pack Two
