Email.dot message

[JDR]

I've been running Office 2003 on an XP-Pro SP2 system using Word as my
default email editor for at least a year. Just recently I've starting
getting the message "do you want to save the changes to email.dot?".
Regardless of whether I answer Yes or No it will pop back up the next time I
close an open message.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

DOT extension means it's a template. Email.dot is the Word template for
emails and is based on Normal.dot template & sounds like it's corrupted. You
can search for normal.dot (include hidden files)with Word closed and delete
it. It will be recreated with the default settings when you reopen Word.
You'll lose the template's custom settings (if any) so you'll need to
recreate them.
