New docs opening in the header

[Guest]

All of a sudden every time I open a new document, it opens in the header
instead of the body of the document. I've tried going to normal.dot to
modify it, but the modifications don't stick and when I open a new document
it's up in the header again. I have to go to header and click Close to get
it to go to the body of the document.

1) How do I get rid of this problem?

2) What might have caused this to happen in the first place?

Thanks

They're not really opening in the header (unless you see a dotted-line box
that says "Header"); see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm
