global template, NORMAL.DOT, already open
Every time I launch Word, a dialog box pops up that states: "The global
template, NORMAL.DOT, is already open as an add-in program." I click OK to close the dialog box and Word functions normally after that. Why is this dialog box opening and how can I make it stop? Roger Marrs |

Do you perhaps have a copy of Normal.dot in Word's Startup folder?

Startup is not a good location for *any* user templates, as this will just
confuse Word (not to mention making it take forever to load). -- Suzanne S.
