something has corrupted important Word files. a virus, perhaps? if you uninstall and reinstall Word (or Office) does that fix it for a while? then the problem recurrs? that would describe a virus at work...

your normal.dot template is corrupted. close out of word and then delete the normal.dot template and then restart word. you can find the template in c:\documents and settings\user's profile\application data\microsoft\templates or you can just do a search for files or folders and find it that way. Good luck!
