Terrence;
When I encounter this kind of problem
I do a search for 'normal.dot' and delete it
word will recreate it and the problem should be solved.
normal.dot is the default template for a blank word document.

Subject: [PCSOFT] MS Word template...




                Hello all,


                I work in Windows 2000 network environment with approx.
50 users on 35 machines (Win98, Win 2K, WinXp).  Lately I've had staff
members complain about the reoccurrence of the following message:  The
normal.dot file has been modified would you like to save these changes
or either the global template file has been modified ...(Whether staff
selects Yes or the Cancel option, the message continues to reappear
until about 4th or 5th time of selecting either option).   Is there any
option in MS Word that I could choose to prevent these messages from
reappearing permanently?
