Which is where you went wrong, you don't fiddle with Normal you create a  
new one.

Because most of the templates are based on Normal.

If you want to start from scratch save your normal template under a  
different name then delete it. When it starts up Word will create a new  
untouched Normal.dot template. I'm trying to remember if this will wipe  
your dictionary additions or not, as well as any additional menu items you  
might have created so be warned.
