Word 2000 damaged normal.dot cannot delete

I have a damaged normal.dot template in Word 2000 with Windows 98 SE. Normally when this happens I can just delete the file, but now I get a message that I cannot delete or rename normal.dot, Access denied and this file is read-only. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks for any advice.

    Hillhopper,

    I can't imagine how it got to be read only, but if you right-click it and choose Properties you can uncheck that property and should then be able to delete it.
