Word 2000 keeps opening the last file I was working on?

[sam.wheale]

Hi guys,

As I mentioned in the subject line, every time I open Word 2000 it 'opens' the last file I was working on?

Any Ideas on how I can rid myself of this problem? It’s really getting annoying!

Cheers,

Sam.

The following instructions are for Office XP (Word 2002) but Word 2000 should be very similar.

Do a search for 'normal.dot' and double click it to open it in Word, it should be a blank page,

if it isn't ...

close Word >delete the file 'normal.dot' > re-open Word to create a new 'normal.dot'

then

With Word open > Tools > Options > Save > ensure the Default Save Format is Word Document (*.doc)

if 'normal.dot is a blank page you need to check the 'switches' on the Word 'Command Line' see http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=wrd2003

Now I'm trying to find out how it could have happened

Sorry I did mean to give you an explanation

I did exactly as you suggested, although the advice was aquired in another forum.

Thanks for your reply though
