150966 2003-06-08 11:16:00 My daughter used Word 2000 on my computer. Now when I open Word I get her document with all her weird formatting. How do I get rid of it and return Word to opening to an untitled/blank document. hawk_51 (3979)
150967 2003-06-08 11:40:00 Somehow she has saved the changes to the "normal.dot" template by the sound of it.

Search for "normal.dot" and delete it or rename it, Word will re-create it next startup.
(Dont have Word running when you delete the file)

The new one will have all the standard default formatting options when you next open Word.
