MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2003Custom template is new document
The previous user for this computer somehow had Word programmed to always launch a document she created. Every time I launch Word or click "new document" this document appears in place of a blank sheet. If I want to create a Word document, I must first erase the content on screen then proceed with my document. How can I put this program back to it's origional settings? Help... If the previous user actually has an old document loading at startup, then you need to change the shortcut used to start Word, which will have a switch that accomplishes this purpose (see Word's Help under "Control what happens when you start Word"). But if (as is more likely) you also get this document when you press the New button, then the document has somehow been saved in or as Normal.dot.
