Not the right Normal.dot template appears

[Guest]

I don't know how I've managed to do this, but each time I create a new
document I get a document with words appear, etc, rather than the usual blank
template.

I have opened the normal.dot template and saved it with all the wordings
removed, but Word still opens with this other document from this worded
template.

How can I ensure that Word opens with a blank document generated from the
normal.dot?

Hi Kim

See
Why is my "Blank Document" not blank?
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm

Each machine should have only one normal.dot. In Word, at Tools > Options >
File Locations, identify the "User Templates" folder. That is where
normal.dot should be, and that's the one you need to edit.

Hope this helps.
