When I click to open a new blank document in WORD, it opens up a document my daughter generated and saved. Did she save her document as a template? I don't think so but I've been to templates, options, etc and don't see how the new document format could have been altered to open the way it does. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Try deleting the normal.dot file in the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

Open up word again and it should automatically create a new normal.dot template.
 
If you have ANY AutoText, or macros you have made, it would be better to RENAME noraml.dot, and try again.

But yes, your daughter must have saved the document as a template.

BTW: do a full search for all normal.dot files. Word can be funny about making extra copies of it.
