Normal.dot, is already open as an add-in

[Victoria@DIG]

I've recently had my computer re-imaged and now when I start Word I get the
following errror:

"The global template, Normal.dot, is already open as an add-in program"

I remember this happening before years ago, but I can't remember how to fix
it. I've checked the following:

1) No files in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP
2) No files in my C:\Documents and Settings\vcervan\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I was reading more on how Global Templates work and discovered the cause of
my error message. When setting up my file locations under the Tools menu, I
selected my Templates folder for my start up folder. Once I canceled that, I
didn't receive the error any more. Just thought I'd post my discovery in
case someone else makes the same mistake.
