That way Word will still regenerate the NORMAL.DOTM and you will still have the old version of the file to resolve BOB’s issue.
Your method 2 is a fix for the problem because when Word starts and no NORMAL.DOT(M) is present, it automatically generates a new one from hard coded values in the program itself.Ī better approach to DELETING the template file is to RENAME it. So, that implies you installed your new version of Office as an “in-place upgrade” over an older version. So every time Word opens, with the “old” NORMAL.DOTM it is automatically in compatibility mode. It’ll open Registry Editor.Īnother explanation for the “always” compatibility mode is that your NORMAL.DOTM was created in an earlier version of Word. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. If above mentioned 2 methods don’t work for you, here is a Registry tweak to fix the issue:ġ. Open Word and it’ll automatically create a new Normal.dotm file in Templates folder which will solve the issue. Either delete the file or rename it to some other name.ģ.
