I am having a real pain with Word docs. lately. Everytime I go to open a "new office document " in Word the same text (a paper I wrote a few weeks ago) no matter what I do. I have searched thru Help and think I locked it somehow, but even following what seems to be the right direction nothing changes. I don't see any lock icon on the page that the helper seems to indicate.
I know that it must be to prevent others from altering the content, for example a workgroup. You are allowed to erase the entire doc and remame it or add to it a save the new text but, the next new doc I try to create, opens showing me the original text from earlier this month.
After dling what seems like three hundred patches for my Windows XP version, I want to trhow bags of manure on Sir Gates front lawn. Oh, it also will not let me delete the original using dos commands, either.
