Office & productivity software: Getting rid of xxxxx.doc.dot
Getting rid of xxxxx.doc.dot
by Kebb - 9/12/06 8:36 PMI made a mail list. It got saved by Office 2000 as a DOT file. Now when I make new documents, it wants to make them doc.dot files.
Help. How can I get back to normal?

that of you open Word
- Open Word
- Type aaa
- File>Save As
it says
Filename: aaa.doc.dot
Filetype: document template (.dot)
instead of the normal
Filename: aaa.doc
Filetype: Word document (.doc)
That's strange indeed? Or am I wrong in the details?
And what special thing did you do to save a certain document (that happened to contain a mail list, but the contents really don't care for Word) as a template?

Virus?

it has been a while, but I seem to recall a virus that did this. A company I was working at a person claimed taht all of their Word documents were gone. They could not see them from word, but when I looked at the directory they were there. all of the files were getting saved with the .dot extension.
I would run an anit-virus just to make sure. The other thing, of course, is to delete the normal.dot
Changed settings
by swisse - 9/13/06 11:41 AM In reply to: Getting rid of xxxxx.doc.dot by KebbIt may have changed some settings in the Save options:
1.Open Word.
2.At the menu go to Tools.
3.Click Options.
4.Under Options click the option Save or Saving.
5.Under Save or Saving look for Standardformat.
6.Under it is an option which says Wordfiles save as Documenttemplate(*.dot).
7.Change it to Word-document(*.doc), then click Ok.
8.Save your document, and close Word.
9.The next time you open Word and save your files it will save them as .doc files.

won't allow anything by .dot in greyed out area
by Kebb - 9/13/06 7:17 PM In reply to: Changed settings by swisseTried that.
It only allows .dot file save, even after I set the type to .doc.
