Normal.Dot on WORD

J

John Fugh

When closing Word 2003, a msg pops up: "The file
Normal.dot already exists.
Do you want to replace the existing file?" If I choose
Yes, it closes. If I
choose No, it prompts me to save. When I cancel, it goes
back to the blank
document screen. If I click close again..."Changes have
been made that
affect the global template, Normal.dot. Do you want to
save those changes?"
Word closes if I choose Yes or No.

I have tried to rename the normal.dot and tried clearing
the registry "data"
section. Still am not able to fix this problem.
