O.K. then I am way-off and probably clueless about this one. I just hate the way codes are imported into Word via a simple copy and paste unless you use that damn paste special which is a pain in the rear to reformat the stuff. Gates had his head in his butt on this program. WordPerfect had him beat all the way around--too bad Word was what all the young'uns have grown up on because they don't know how a good program works and don't have a clue how to utilize the word processing programs elements.

Sorry for the rant!!

You can delete it, and it sometimes is necessary if it becomes corrupt. But a corrupt normal.dot file usually doesn't cause this, but it's worth a shot.

Close word, search all files and folders for normal.dot. delete it, then restart word and see if that helps.

Thanks for all your help. I don't know what it is. When I find out I'll let you know.

Thanks again,
Flutters

I prefer Adobe PageMaker. Designing in Word is a real pain. I use it only for a few things...typing letters, formating my SARS Threads, and clip art. Word has its place, but using it for designing is useless.

Naw. Freepers are smarter than that. However, any DUers that are lurking may have tried it!

Gosh, there for a minute I thought you might be referring to me but in that case--that wouldn't be possible!

No way, I wasn't referring to you! Sorry 'bout that. I should've been more specific ~

Check when opening a file that it is opening as Word Document (*.doc)
and not as another file type, such as Recover Text from Any File (*.*)
