Only Word can create a normal.dot. Naming a different template normal.dot is
not a good idea. Neither is sharing normal.dot.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations
including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros,
etc. Generally, you want to use document templates and put your styles in
them. See http://addbalance.com/word/stylesheet.htm for information on
sharing styles using a global.

MSWord's default template is Normal.dot and I think every time a user
opens up Word, it generates a refreshed copy of Normal.dot. At my
work, they have created a template with unique styles and named it
Normal.dot.

Would Word replace this revised template with it's own?
What are the problems that could happen with having 2 Normal.dots?

Thanks
