≪ check out your NORMAL.DOT. ≫

Several months back, when I was having gazillions of problems with Word and
hadn't yet switched back to Xywrite, an assistant to Michael Dell at Dell
Computers told me that most of the problems were caused by normal.dot.

The cure:
1.close all documents and programs (doesn't work if anything is running)
2. when the desktop appears, hit start
3. choose find, find files or folders
4. ask it to find normal.dot
5. when normal. dot is found, delete it by highlighting and hitting the
delete button.

When you start working again, normal.dot will reconstitute itself and, if it
was a normal.dot problem to begin with, theoretically all will be well.

Somewhere, I think in Control Panel, there is a control for sizes, but I am
having trouble locating it myself.

Good luck
