Re: Normal.dot template Failure (corruption)

Small square?

This may be normal - no problem. You may just be noticing it for the first
time. It could be a marker of paragraph formatting.

If using Windows XP see: You may experience problems in Windows Explorer or
in the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry yourself, then
go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to Item
No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix". Download and run
the script to automatically modify your registry as described in KB918165.
You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program in order to run
the script.

A revised version of the update is supposed to be released on Tuesday, April
25, to fix these problems.

Ok I have a weird one here. I have had several users open word documents
and
while they are working in them, they freeze and have to restart. Upon
further investigation I found that in each case there was a small square
in
the users document and that same square appears even when the user opens a
new document. So when I attempted to replace the users normal template,
the
user did not have a normal template. I know it sounds crazy but it's
true.
So I copied a Normal.dot template from another location and the users
worked
fine. Now, please note I am NOT working in a vanilla Word environment.
We
are running on a Thin Client Server in a Citrix environment with several
home
made macros to produce certain things in Word. Any help anyone could be
would be great!
