Anna,
I would bet you're right about it being a Word virus, but...
...files with a .vir extension? You are kidding, aren't you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a template called manual.dot that I attach to all my word files.
It's been working fine for months. However, this morning:
- I choose File > Templates to verify that the template was attached
correctly
- But nothing happened; the usual templates dialog box didn't show up.
It happens with all files; even when I create a new .doc document based on
manual.dot and save the document, nothing happens when I choose File >
Templates.
Any idea what could cause this?

You probably downloaded a Word virus. Check File Manager for files with a
.vir
extension.
