It looks like it could be information about default settings in Word97 possibly. An example of what gets attached is shown below.

I have tried the following steps to remove this problem:
- replacing the Normal.dot template file
- removing and reinstalling Office97
- overinstalling Windows95
None of these methods fix the problem.

The only thing that fixes it is to delete Win95 and do a fresh Win95 installation - which is a big job of course.

Got any ideas about this problem?
