2007 Normal Template Repair
I believe I may have somehow goofed up the Normal template in Word 2007. I'd
love to know how I can repair this problem. -- Thanks for any help you can provide! |

2007 Normal Template Repair
Close Word, rename the Normal.dotm template, and Word will create a new
one when you start it again. MargaretA wrote: I believe I may have somehow goofed up the Normal template in Word 2007. I'd love to know how I can repair this problem. |

2007 Normal Template Repair
Thanks for your quick reply!
When I got to my template in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, my Normal template has an "!" after the icon and it's file type is "Micorsoft Office Word Macro-Enabled Template". This can't be a good sign. And to be particulary pesky, if I still should try renaming "Normal" (for instance, "Normal 1"), will the newly created Normal template still have the "Normal 1" template? Believe me...I greatly appreciate your help. Just wish you were sitting the chair beside me! -- Thanks for any help you can provide!

Yes, normal.dotm is a Word 2007 macro-enabled template, so that *is* a
good sign. You can rename it to normal.dotm.1 or normal.dotm.old or normal.bad or anything else that is not normal.dotm. When you start Word 2007 again, Word will create a new normal.dotm based on factory default settings. MargaretA wrote: Thanks for your quick reply!

Yes, both the renamed normal.dotm and the newly created normal.dotm will
be in your templates folder, although Word 2007 will not "see" the renamed normal.dotm. MargaretA wrote: Thanks for your quick reply!
