Word 2003 template stuck

[blesher]

I am using MS OFFICE PRO 2003 and, for some strange reason, my default Normal Template is 7" wide with 1" margins. I delete normal.dot files and still can't get back the normal document. what can I do? thanks.

I don't know what the "normal" normal.dot is for 2003, but if you have deleted it - and hopefully ALL of them (there can be more than one - AND there is no other global template loading (check Templates and Addins to see if there are), then simply change the margins of normal.dot to whatever margins you want.

I would definitely check to see if there are other global templates first though. You may also want to check to see if there are COM addins. The listings for COM addins can also be seen through Tools > COM Addins. Note that the menu item to see COM addins is NOT on the Tools > menu list by default. You need to add it to the menu list. See Help.

Before the Normal.dot template is applied to a file, Word 2003 searches a combination of templates that are found in one of the following three folder locations:
• Installed Templates:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033

• User Templates Path (Default folder):
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

• Workgroup Templates Path:
<Not set by default>
