Put a clean copy of it in a directory someplace on the server say Backup folder.
Create a robocopy script that copies the file back in to place. You can then schedule it to go off during off hours or at system reboot.
For example

robocopy c:\backup\normal.dot "C:\program files\Microsoft Office etc etc" /e

This seems to be a very common problem and it keeps showing for users.  The Normal.dot keeps getting corrupt.
Is there anyway to fix it once and for all.?

Yes that was it. Right after I hit send on the email that occurred to me and sure enough. I don't know how it got corrupted but I should have thought of that first.

Thank you,

I decided to install Office 2007 compatibility pack on Office 2003 SP2 running on Windows 2003 SP1 with  Presentation Sever 4.0. After the compatibility pack was installed we found that word would crash anytime it was launched although other applications seemed fine. I uninstalled the compatibility pack and word keeps crashing. I installed Office 2003 SP3 and still word crashes. I tried doing an Office repair and still word keeps crashing.

The event log shows Event ID 1000.

Faulting application winword.exe, version 11.0.8227.0, stamp 486d648f, faulting module winword.exe, version 11.0.8227.0, stamp 486d648f, debug? 0, fault address 0x008ddf1c.

Anyone had this or suggestions on how to get Word running again?
