When Word opens, shouldn't it start in "Document1"? I've noticed recently that this number keeps getting bigger and bigger "Document16". Is there a way to reset this? Or does it matter?
 
It *should* reset itself after you close and reopen Word. If that's not working, you may be looking at file corruption in your normal.dot. Just close Word, find and rename your normal.dot file to abnormal.dot and relaunch Word to test it. If it didn't work, see my registry fix under Troubleshooting Word FAQ here at TEkTips. techsupportgirl@home.com

Dreamboat: Thank you very much. I had tried renaming normal.dot, which hadn't helped, but the registry idea helped correct the problem.
 
When you first come to the ms office forum here at tek-tips, you see the tabs at the top: Forums, Keyword Search, FAQs and links.

It's under the FAQs and it's called something like Troubleshooting Word 97 and 2000. techsupportgirl@home.com

Thanks. Whenever someone is helpful, it's nice to click on the link under their post that says "Click here to mark this post as a helpful or expert post!" I don't need the votes or anything, but it does allow people who do a search find the "helpful" posts faster.

Hey, thanks. It's kind of tough to let people know about the star thing without sounding *greedy*. But now you know! dreamboat@nni.com
