Normal.dot

Everytime I open up word I get this messege and it never
did this before I just got this for 3 weeks now I can't
seem to figure out how to get rid of it. Mind you I don't
know what Normal.dot do so I don't won't to mess with it.

Here is what it says "Word automatically saved changes to
the normal documents templates. Do you want to load? Yes
or no.

I did both and change the name but I still can't get rid
of it. It is driving me insane.

What can I do to get rid of this problem? Please help me.

Thanks

I wouldn't delete the file, just rename it to normal.old
and word will recreate it.
