Just after I installed an update to Word in May 05, I typed a letter and I
think I may have inadvertently saved it as the blank template or something.
Now, whenever I start Word, it opens to that letter. I have tried everything
I can think of to clear it. I just want to be able to open to a blank page.
Any suggestions?

Hi there.
It seems that you have saved the document in Normal.Dot template. Just
rename Normal.Dot to oldNormal.dot and you will get a blank new document next
time you open word!!

To rename Normal.dot, visit
