normal.dot macros have changed
I have loaded Word 2000 on 4 machines in my office. On 3 of the machines the
normal.dot macros works properly, but on the 4th the macros either work or do something differently. She did not reassign the macros as she would not know how to do that. On the 4th machine, normal.dot for example..[CTRL]+[PG Dn] does nothing (on other machines...goes to top of next page), [DEL] when she has highlighted text, even part of a word, is prompting her to delete block (other machine, will delete the text), or [CTRL]+[Home] is doing a "go to" command which you have to tell it where to go (but on other machines it takes to top of page 1). But some of the macros do what the others do. She didn't do any custom macros so, I renamed the normal.dot to normal.old and restarted Word to get the normal.dot file back and it still is doing the same thing. I have even taken the normal.dot from one of the other machines and copied it to the directory and it still is doing it. I made sure I was putting it in the right spot per instuctions I have found about finding the location. I am totally baffled. My user would like her machine to be the same as the others. Any suggestions?? |
