MS Word problem...

OK, not my problem, but I've been asked to help solve it for a member of my church.

Apparently, every time he starts MS Word, it loads a document he worked on awhile back, rather then a blank page. He said he's even deleted the old document and it still opens that text rather then a blank page. (Meaning highlight, delete, then start).

I've hunted through the menu's on my MS word, and can't find anything that would cause something like this...sooo, any ideas?

    Alternative solution: he's changed his normal template to that. You need to change the normal template back to a blank document. You can do this by deleting the one that has been created.

    I would think it's most likely that's its constantly 'recovering' a damaged document. Or what Biggles said about templates - try searching and deleting normal.dot. It'll be auto-recreated the next time you start Word.

    But apart from that, OpenOffice isn't a bad suggestion. I believe my local church uses that... :D
