Here is a doozy...I open Word 97, and instead of opening to a blank new page, it opens to an old file even after deleting that file. I have bypassed all the shortcuts to Word and executed winword.exe and still the same result. I can make changes(deleted the contents of the file)and saved the changes, but when I reopen Word, it reverts to the original file. Does anyone know what to try? Thanks for your help
