    Did you try to delete Normal.dot?
    Not yet...No offense but I was hoping to get confirmation from someone else that this was correct and wouldn't hurt anything...there are people on here that would intentionally give bad advice so that I would screw up my computer just so they could laugh about it...

    Normal.dot is OK to delete. It gets "rebuilt" the next time you launch Word.

    Normal.dot is OK to delete, but you will lose any customization you had made. If in doubt just rename it to normal.old. A new normal.dot will be created though.

    well, did the program come with the computer or did you buy it? if you have a install disk, maybe you should just try reinstalling word. make sure you back up any do ents you may need.

    which directory did you delete it from? tell us the full path. You may have deleted it from another profile such as "all users" or didnt go into the application data folder, which is hidden.

    do this, click start and then click on Search.

    Select "all files and folders"

    when it changes screens click on "More advanced options" and put a check next to "search hidden files and folders" then do a search for normal.dot

    Any file it finds called normal.dot go ahead and delete. Word is the only program that uses that file so dont worry about it. Make sure when you delete it that Word is closed. After you delete it, relaunch Word again.

    I did it from advanced search and clicked all the file boxes, found it and deleted.

    Restoring to a week ago finally fixed it.

    Thanks, guys.

    open word
    hit the print screen button
    open the windows paint program
    click "edit" then "paste"
    save it
    post it
    I don't have any buttons.
