I think you'll find that there really are two Normal.dot templates, but one
of them is in a hidden folder.

The default installation places your User Templates location at C:\Documents
and Settings\<your login name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates, and
puts the default Normal.dot there. The Application Data folder and
everything under it are marked as Hidden. Unless you change a setting in
Windows Explorer, you can't search or browse to anything there.

To get access, open Windows Explorer and click Tools > Folder Options >
View. Select the option "Show hidden files and folders" and click OK. Now
rerun your search for Normal.dot, and delete the one you find under
Application Data.

Hi Jay,

I thank you for your suggestion, but I already have "Show
hidden files and folders checked."

Any other thoughts about this?

Sincere thanks,
