i wrote these instructions, responding on another list a few years ago.

here's what you can do.  In Windows XP:
Windows Explorer: Go to C: then hit d for Documents and Settings; open it
with right-arrow; look for your computer user name, and expand the folder
with right-arrow: Application Data, expand; down to Microsoft, expand; down
to templates, and then tab into the list view.  At that point, if you hit
the letter n you will highlight "normal.dot", or hit n until you do. Then,
delete that file.  Word creates a fresh normal.dot the next time you open
it.  (Follow the precise file path, or you won't get there.)
