word template corruption?
I can start word correctly using Start and Run and typing in winword.exe /a
so I am assuming I have a template corruption. I cannot figure out how to get to Normal.dot file to rename since it's hidden. Need specific directions. I am using Windows XT and Office 2003. Help is appreciated! -- Brenda E |

word template corruption?
There are specific instructions in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm, but note that running correctly in Safe Mode doesn't necessarily point to corruption in Normal.dot. It could also point to a problem with the Registry or an add-in. For more on that, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Suzanne S.
