HELP PLEASE - I have an assignment due for my course and cannot get my word document to open.  I have a letter stuck on my word programme which I cannot seem to delete or type over. Everytime I try to open a new blank document this letter keep appearing.  I have tried saving it and then deleting it but as soon as I go back to 'new blank document' the letter appear again.  What should I do?  Please don't suggest smashing the computer - I've already thought of that.

It sounds like you have somehow set it as the default document through Page Setup.

The only quick fix I can think of is for me to email you a blank Word doc, which you can open then goto Page setup and save it as the default.

You've saved it as a template!  Create a new blank document and save it in your template folder, making sure you save it as a document template rather than a word document.

thanks for your help and offer via PM Julia.  Problem is I cannot open a new blank document as it is coming up again.  I'm working on it - computer is still in one piece at present!!!!!!!

If you are using windows XP you can do system restore. Go back to a date when you know you weren't having this problem.

did you manage to sort your form out ?

Lel, Kerioak helped me to get a few stages further and I think I might be on the way to sorting it using text boxes.  Unfortunately I haven't had the time this week to play with it.

Thanks for asking.
