    Glynmeek,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers.

    To resolve this behavior, rename the global template (Normal.dot). For Microsoft Windows XP:

    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

    Windows XP

    1. Quit all Office programs.
    2. Click Start, and then click Search.
    3. Under What do you want to search for?, click All files and folders.
    4. In the All or part of the file name box, type Normal.dot.

    In the Look in list, select My Computer. 5. Click Search. 6. In the right pane, right-click each Normal.dot Microsoft Word template, and then click Rename. 7. Type a new name (for example, OldNormal.dot), and then press ENTER. 8. Close the Search Results window. 9. Start Word the way that you typically do (without using the /a switch).

    If renaming the global template (Normal.dot) does not resolve the behavior that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section, do either of the following:

    • Empty the Startup folder.
    • Rename the Data and Options keys in the Windows Registry.

    For more information on Emptying the Startup Folder or to Rename the Data and Options keys in the Windows Registry, please see KB article 839367.

    I hope this helps!
