When ever I start Word 2000, either from the desktop or from the programs menu, it starts up with a recipe my girlfriend saved to the system. I dont know what she did but I would like it to start up as a blank doc.
Does anyone know how to recify this?

First go to Tools>Options File locations and find your Startup file.
Move or delete any "odd" files (not that your girl friend is odd (:')
Next step if that doesn't work, is to locate and rename/delete Normal.dot
Go through your system and deleteany TMP/DOC files that Word leaves around. They start with a tilde (~). You can delete ~*.*
