Every time I open a new document in Word I am given an old letter that was
typed. It seems that it was somehoe saved as the template for blank
documents. I found that my Normal.dot template had been revised but I do not
know how to fix it.

While not in Word, delete it. Or rename it to something like
"oldnormal.dot". Word will create a fresh one the next time
it starts up.
If the old template contains customizations that you want to
keep, you should rename it and then transfer the
customizations to the new one.

You can search for normal.dot in Windows; be sure to search hidden files and
folders. Rename the one that you find (the default location is in a
Templates folder in your user profile, which for Windows XP means
c:\Documents and Settings\<your_user_name_here>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates).
