Hope that helps Next little box also comes up reading (Changes have been made to the global template,Normal. Do you want to save these changes) I don't know where all this stuff comes from because I'm to dumb to change anything How about some help from the BIG GUYS running the show?	Guest (0)

For it to be corrupted, it sounds like there might be or have been a virus attack - a common target for attacks is Word, as it is used a LOT. You could try reinstalling or repairing your Word installation, as this should replace normal.dot with the original one, but I'd suggest finding a good antivirus, getting the latest definitions, and running a FULL (every file) virus scan. I'd suggest Norton antivirus or Panda antivirus.	Guest (0)
