How do you delete the normal.dot template in Word 2003? I looked in the Microsoft Office folder in Program Files, and also tried searching for it, to no avail.

If your search for 'normal.' turns up nothing there is a good chance it has been deleted, try inserting the CD and run the repair function or lift the file off the CD and save in templates.
