arbitary overwrite from attached normal.dot

WORD 2000
From time to to time, in say 5-10 page documents, exactly
256 bytes of stuff overwrites the current text. The 256
bytes are copied from Normal.dot attached to the current
document. (The first 128 bytes can be found exactly in
the original Normal.dot file).

Confirmed by examining the documents and normal.dot using
a hex editor; for several different documents and 4
different normal.dot's since its happening to 4 people on
4 different computers).

Anyone else experiencing this ?

Possibly something that's been inserted into Normal.Dot? See;
