I'm experiencing a very strange problem with Word, which is part of Office 97. First off, this machine is on a Netware 5 network. When I open a Word document going through Word, it comes up with "bjbjt+t+" at the top of every document and all boxes, tables, etc.. are not there. At the bottom of each document is a list of Autorecovery's. When I go into Windows Explorer and open the same document everything is fine. I've tried to reinstall Office but it hasn't help. Any ideas? It's very strange. Please help.


Thank you

You may have a corrupted Normal.dot file.
Try to do the following:
-Close Word if it is open.
-Go to Start/Find/Files or Folders.
-In the Named box type normal.dot.
-Click on Find now.
-The file should be under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates.
-Right-click on the file and choose delete.
-Restart MS Word. Word will create another one.
Repost if the problem did not go away.

Good Luck
