How do I change my Normal template?
You have just saved my life - already lost two hours off it due to
Microsoft's inaccurate (to say the least) instructions. After Alt T and I though I struggled a bit cos it wouldn't change the original Normal.dot because a Word document was open. I managed to figure it out in the end although my PC kept insisting that I didn't have one. Also it didn't show up on a Search of the whold computer...I guess I didn't search in hidden files as well although I thought I did. Anyway, I achieved what I wanted and furthermore there will be many floating ladies in the secretariat who will lie down and kiss my feet for this info (what an awful thought!). A thousand thanks.

That will take you to the folder where the currently in use copy resides Can you provide a link or a title of the help page that appears to have the incorrect information? =========== "Barb Meek" wrote in message ... I'm very frustrated trying to change my normal.dotm in Word 2007. First of all, the directions for even locating it are inaccurate in Microsoft's help center. But...I searched and think I found the document anyway. For some reason, the "normal" style defaults to "10 pt after paragraph" and won't accept my change to delete that. Or maybe I'm looking at the wrong normal.dotm file. There seem to be several. Any way I can find the real base template for my blank documents and get it to stop doing that? Any help is appreciated -- Barb -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |
