Create a new Word document based on Normal.dot. To create a new document based on the global template, click the Microsoft Office Button, click New. Click on Blank Document, then click Create. Depending on what happens in the new document, follow these steps :
- In the new document, use a different font. If the problem disappears once you've changed your policy and may be linked to a specific font in Windows. Take the next step to continue troubleshooting.
- In the new document, use the font that you used in the original Word document. If the font problem disappears in the new Word document, the original document is probably corrupt.

If you used a template other than Normal.dot template to create the original Word document, it may be damaged. Or, the model from which the original document was created can be damaged. It is also possible that both the original document and the template is damaged. If the problem persists with a specific font in the new document, try to use the font in a new WordPad document. To create a WordPad document, click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, then click WordPad. If the problem persists in a Word document in WordPad, the font is probably damaged. You may need to remove and reinstall the font in Windows defective.
