"Normal.dot" is a template file that contains default settings such as 
custom styles, custom toolbars, macros, and AutoText entries. Some 
viruses, such as Melissa and AutoClose infect this file. If I'm not 
mistaken, "normal.dot" normally does not get written to the drive except 
when changes to the preferences (to the template, actually) are made, or 
when the system is infected with one of these types of viruses.

So the first thing I would do would be to shut down all of Word and 
rename "normal.dot" (a new one will be created automagically when you 
restart Word). See if that makes a difference.

Another thing to look at is to see if wherever "normal.dot" is 
read/writable for your user. Assuming the file is not infected, and the 
file is being written as part of the normal course of events for Word, 
this could be your issue.
