Subject:Re: Word 97: What do you do when Normal.dot dies? From:Christopher Knight <knight -at- ADA -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 29 Sep 1997 14:09:38 PDT
The best thing to do is to not store your styles etc. in normal.dot.
Store them in another template, and attach that to your document files.
A corrupted normal.dot is a sign of a Word macro virus. You must drive a
stake thru the heart of both the corrupted normal.dot AND the document
which brought the virus into your system. A good virus-catcher will do
the latter. Good luck.
