Can anyone help ? Every time I click on the 'microsoft word' icon on my computer I get a copy of a previous letter that I have typed. It is the same letter every time. I have obviously pushed an incorrect button at some time !! I have uninstalled the whole office program and re-installed it but the problem remains. Can you advise on how I can get back to the original blank document? Thanks

Usually you can navigate to this folder C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates and delete the word normal dot template.
Shutdown and restart the computer and word will detect that normal dot is missing and create a new one.

Thanks for your help. Will try what you suggest !!

Success !! Thanks for your help and advice.

Glad it's fixed.
