SYMPTOMS
========

When you open a document that has been saved from a WordMail message in either
Word Document Format (*.doc) or RTF Text Format (*.rtf), menu items are missing
and the Print Preview button is missing from the Standard toolbar.

CAUSE
=====

The document is attached to the Email.dot template or to another template with
customized menus or toolbars.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use the following steps to attach a Word template,
for example Normal.dot, to the document:

1. Open the document in Word 97.

2. On the Tools menu, click Templates And Add-Ins.

3. Click the Attach button. Change to the correct folder, click Normal.dot, and
  then click OK.

NOTE: You can use the Organizer to copy styles from the Email.dot to your
Normal.dot, if desired. To open the Organizer, click Styles on the Format menu
and then click the Organizer button.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
