Do you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed? It may be blocking the creation of
normal.dot. If so, write back.
OTOH, you may simply not be finding normal.dot. It can be hard to find
because it is marked as a hidden system file. See the part on finding
normal.dot at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm.

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

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!
