Do a search for "NORMAL.DOT". Once the search finds it, DELETE IT. MS Word
will recreate the file with its normal default settings.... which is the
blank you are looking for.

Although this is a reply to an old post and probably no longer relevant DO
NOT do this! Deleting the normal template will remove all your
personalisations, macros etc that may have taken a long time to accumulate.
ALWAYS rename the normal template so that the customisations can be
recovered.
