The best thing to do is to not store your styles etc. in normal.dot.
Store them in another template, and attach that to your document files.
A corrupted normal.dot is a sign of a Word macro virus. You must drive a
stake thru the heart of both the corrupted normal.dot AND the document
which brought the virus into your system. A good virus-catcher will do
the latter. Good luck.
