Subject: [vip_students] If you need to Delete the normal.dot template
file (OS Windows Xp)
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.)
