Im sure many folks here have heard of the fabled Normal.dot template file becoming corrupt and creating start-up trouble for Microsoft Word of all versions. After messing around with my girlfriends laptop trying to figure out why it took 10 minutes for Word 2007 to start-up I came across this problem.. When I deleted the Normal.dotm file from her Template folder, Word started up in less than a second, VERY FAST.. I closed Word and started it back up, and yet again, slow 10 minute start-up... I went back to her template folder and noticed the Normal.dotm file was there again... So Word creates this file everytime, which is normal for it to "repair" itself.. however, it continually creates this "corrupt" version of it so we have to delete that file each time we open MS Word.. Is there a way to delete it once and for all? Or perhaps make a working version of it? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
