Get Message that "Normal" has been changed in Word. Please help.
Recently, after having to reinstall/reformat my computer
system/files/programs due to a virus, I started getting the following comment upon closing a Word 2003 screen, whether it is blank, contains my own document, or an attahment from another person: Microsoft Office Word -- "Changes have been made that affect the global template Normal. Do you want to save these changes?" I've selected cancel, since I did not make any changes to the template -- or any of my settings, aside from loading various toolbars from the toolbar menu. Other times I've selected "no" or "yes," but the comment keeps appearing, although not every time I close Word. I don't know what to do; I've searched for Normal.dot (which seems to be the Normal that the message refers to, but that's not in any of my files/directories. I've been able to open and creat all documents and attachments from other people. However, today, I tried to open a Word .rtf attachment from a friend, but all I got was a blank screen. (Is this related to the issue?) What do I do? How can I return things back to normal -- or find out what normal is, since I've been getting this comment ever since I reinstalled Word. Any help will be appreciated. |

To add to my post, listed below, I looked under "Templates and Add-ins,"
under Document Template, normal is listed. Under "Checked items are currently loaded" redaction.dot is the only one listed. What is Redaction.dot?
