Word 97 Problem

I have seen similar strange events occur on user's machines. Usually when the problem is isolated on one machine I attribute it to either a virus or user error (knowingly or not). My usual solution is to delete the normal.dot template and replace it with a known good one (I keep a "good" copy on a share on the server).

Otherwise, you can delete and reinstall the application with a fresh copy.

God luck.

The Correct answer to this question is not to reinstall WORD!!!! WRONG!!! As a MOUS specialist in word 97 I am sorry but this is the way word works. See once you start a bullet it doesn't know when you want to stop using it. As for this issue not happening with other bullets well anything is possible with Microsoft!!!! But to be honest can the user just let it go and hit the backscape bar until it clears....My friend if its only one user then keep your points and let it go.. It's not worth the while to figure this one out unless you want to....
Good Luck
