Word 2004 normal.dot default styles missing

[roger...@comcast.net]

I'm wondering whether I need to uninstall and reinstall Office 2004 on
OS X 10.4.7. For a new document based on NORMAL.DOT, the only style
displayed in Word's toolbar is "Normal." When I open Format>Style, I
see only the following: Default Paragraph Font, No List, Normal, and
Table Normal.

I know that there should be at least Headings 1, 2, and 3 and Normal.
I've checked the file location preference for templates (Microsoft User
Data), and I've renamed and recreated NORMAL.DOT several times. The
problem persists. Since the app doesn't seem to be creating the correct
styles when it regenerates the Normal template, I wonder if it's
missing something essential.

Thanks for any assistance.

The group "microsoft.public.mac.office.word" has tons of traffic,
whereas this one seems to be abandoned. Try there.
