When I open a new word document, I get 25 blank pages that I can't delete.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install Office. I have defragged, disc scan
(NOrton Disc Doctor), Couldn't restore back before problem. Cannot find
anything relating to this problem in any of the help menu's.

Just because the pages appear "blank" doesn't mean they don't have any
contents, such as manual page breaks.

G'Day Hotshower,

1. Take a cold shower.

2. What exactly do you mean, you can't delete them? Do
you simply mean that you cannot prevent this from
happening?

3. It sounds as if you have a corrupt NORMAL template.
See:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm.
In your case substitute '25 pages' for 'the text of an old
document', but follow the directions for cleaning up
normal.dot anyway!
