Normal.dot

[Steve W.]

I have recently installed Word 2000 into a newly formatted
computer and am using many files that were built in Word
97. It seems that there are some formatting problems
occurring here and I often get an Illegal Error message
when closing down. It does not save my file correctly when
this error occurs. There also seems to be a problem with
the file wanting to make changes to the normal.dot global
template? I do not want this template to change as it
contains several macros that I do not want to lose!

Any suggestions as to how to overcome these problems?

Steve
