It is sometimes helpfull. Just delete it. Maybe conflicts with other templates like Duden, Dragon, etc.? My 2 cents Toledo

Toledo wrote: It ist sometimes helpfull. Just delete it. It's true that a corrupt normal.dot template can create various problems. However, as normal.dot holds user-defined settings, it's better to rename it (e.g. to normal_old.dot) rather than just deleting it. In this way it will still be possible to retrieve such settings, such as AutoText entries. Ralf | | |

but rename it to Normal.do_ or similar - this may indeed be a kind of help, but not very likely, as it is a clean new installation. But renaming Normal.dot lets you restore its settings, while after deleting nothing more is possible. Regards Jerzy | | |
It is a new installation | May 31, 2004 |
What kind of setting you have if the computer is new and with a new installtion? Other thing. Search for ~normal.dot files and delete it (or save it) and for ~trados and other dot files starting with "~" they are corrupt., Never save changes into Trados.dot!

Spellcheck doesn't work, but the thesaurus does.... | May 31, 2004 |
Now here's a funny thing....

English thesaurus: works, correctly identifies language variant and spelling errors. I've submitted a support request to Microsoft (and the MVPs). Let's see what they come up with. Right now I can still spellcheck the files (very indirectly) using my old computer (which is networked with the new laptop), but that's a very long way round to do a simple spellcheck. Thanks for all your help! Alison ▲ Collapse | | |

Hi Alison, I've submitted a support request to Microsoft (and the MVPs). Submit a Support Request to Trados in Stuttgart, too - I'll alert them to this thread. Cheers, Ralf | |

I would simply try to rename this folder in your new PC to ie Proof_test and then copy the whole Proof folder from the old one at the same place. Do you know where your pesonal auto corrections and spellchecker-files are? This just for the case, you don´t - let me know, as it is possible to migrate them from one PC to another. With XP you do this with a smart creator from MS, but I don´t remember, if Office 2k has had such one. Regards Jerzy ▲ Collapse | | |

nitty gritty stuff.... | May 31, 2004 |
Things are getting wierd here.... So I went looking for normal.dot - and couldn't find it. So I went into Word and tried to create a new template so I would know what the directory path is. I created a template called "Vorlage2.dot" and saved it in the place where my computer told me that templates are supposed to go. Turned out to be right beside "normal.dot" - which should be at: c:/dokumenteundeinstellungen/alison/anwenderdaten/microsoft/vor... See more Things are getting wierd here....

Turned out to be right beside "normal.dot" - which should be at: c:/dokumenteundeinstellungen/alison/anwenderdaten/microsoft/vorlagen/vorlage2.dot. So I went looking in Explorer for Vorlage 2. I got as far as C:/dokumenteundeinstellungen/alison and then things got strange. Instead of anwenderdaten I had application data. Fine, so I looked there. And sure enough there was a directory called Microsoft, but all it had in it was a file called MSComctlLib.exd I then tried searching for Vorlage2.dot (the file I'd just created), but my computer can't find it.... What's going on? Why can life never be easy... ▲ Collapse | | |
