If you do decide to trash normal.dot, I would recommend first re-naming the existing normal.dot as Oldnormal.dot, and move it somewhere other than its usual residence.

Then fire up Word so it creates a new normal.dot. If it means that you have lost all of the things like your addresses etc, you can always go back to the original normal.dot by changing its name back from Oldnormal, and moving it back to the correct folder, which in my case seems to be C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.

1177223 2011-02-15 00:36:00 I decided to give it a go... and apart from having to change the default font from Times New Roman, it seems fine now. I typed in my name (the spelling of which throws spell checks!) and it automatically capitalised it and accepted it, so here's hoping all the other auto correct items are intact too.

Thanks Jen, I doubt I would have found it otherwise!

1177224 2011-02-15 00:46:00 You could just rename the normal.dot to start.dot and put it in the word start up folder. If any address are there they will come through with the start up template SolMiester (139)
