MS Word inserts header automatically
Hello,
One of our students has shown us when she creates a blank word doc, a blank header is also automatically inserted. I wonder if there is a way to disable this what appears to be now default behaviour... Thanks |

MS Word inserts header automatically
In recent versions of Word, if the header of Normal.dot has ever been
modified (or even looked at cross-eyed), it retains an empty paragraph that can't be deleted. The only way to get rid of it, I'm afraid is to rename Normal.dot, and I don't think it's worth losing all one's customizations over such a minor annoyance (though this will definitely cause problems with labels). -- Suzanne S.

MS Word inserts header automatically
Thank you Suzanne,
It is Word 2003 a part of Office 2003 suite. Would overwriting normal.dot file with another one from different computer which is armored with same version of Word solve the problem? Suzanne S.

It might, but it would not solve the problem of losing customizations; you'd
do better to rename Normal.dot and retrieve as many customizations as possible as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. Note that the main thing that can't be retrieved are toolbar customizations, but custom toolbars can, so you can get around this by creating a custom toolbar in the original Normal.dot, dragging all the custom buttons/menus to it, saving, then copying the custom toolbar into the new Normal.dot (using the Organizer) and dragging the buttons/menus back to their normal place. -- Suzanne S.
