Blank doc gets corrupted

L

LarryL

I suddenly have a problem with MSWord97 SR1

Open Word to a blank doc
Save it
Re-open it, and it contains a bunch of text starting with the
following:

Normal
Normal
Heading 1
Heading 1
Default Paragraph Font
Default Paragraph Font
Hyperlink
Hyperlink

I have renamed/deleted Normal.dot several times with no affect
whatsoever. I've checked/unchecked Fast Save... no change.

I have searched the web, including Microsoft's site, and so far
haven't found a solution.

Can anyone here help?

Go to File, Open dialog and change the File Types to *.docs as you now have
the Recover Text from Any File option selected. Remember that this is a
sticky setting in versions prior to Word XP.
