Charles:
Thank you for your response but it's not just the sqaure I am concerned
with. It's what is happening in the background. And as I re-read my
question I failed to state this portion, there was no normal template when I
went to delete it. So while the square is there and appears to be the cause
of the corruption, I think the greater issue may lie in why is the Normal not
replicating itself upon deletion or better still how can Word function with
it being non-existent in the users profile. (In all cases referenced Normal
was not in the profile).

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

A revised version of the update is supposed to be released on Tuesday, April

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!
