normal.dot screwed up

HisHighness · 01-05-2008, 03:42 PM

Hey, I've mistakenly saved over normal.dot is there a way to reset it to default? I've tried deleting it but that doesn't seem to want to work.

Thanks.

what version of office? What exactly is the problem you are having - give any error messages?. Deleting the normal.dot file will take you back to default so something else could be the problem.

- Microsoft Office Word 2003
- When I hit the space bar it puts a period in instead of a space. Also every time I hit enter it puts this weird character at the end of the line.
- No error messages.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Ok, I figured out what it was. Here's the answer in case anyone has this problem again. I don't know how this got turned on though...

sorry, I have been out of action for a couple of days because of my workload. When working 12 hours a day with almost a 3 hour commute round trip, it kind of limits my internet time.

Glad you were able to figure this out and thanks for letting us know the solution.
