normal.dot?

[Bill]

This one must be an easy fix! When opening MS-Word the
default Word document does not open automatically. How
do I configure Word to automatically open a blank Word
Doc??? Many thanks.

Hi, Bill,

If it appears that some other document is opening instead, it's possible
that the contents of the other document got stuffed into your normal.dot.
See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm.

If Word opens with no document, just a blank gray window, check the sortcut
you're using to make sure it doesn't include a /n switch. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210565 for information about switches.
