Default My formatting in word is acting funny

Help!! The formatting in my word documents is acting strangly. It won't let
me see pasted items unless I have selcted to view paragraph formatting (the
annoying paragraph symbols and dots at the end of sentences). Furthermore,
when I add footnotes it does not format the footnote normally. I unintstalled
Office 2000 and installed Office 2003 but I still have the same problem. Any
help would be beyond wonderful. Thanks

Rename normal.dot to oldnormal.dot (a hidden file in the folder indicated at
tools options file locations user templates).

If that fixed it, you can use the Organiser to copy any wanted items from
ooldnormal.dot to normal.dot before deleting the old one.
