Ms. Barnhill,

You are trying to educate a mule. With Daniels it his belief in his own
infallibility that is so annoying, even when wrong he continues his
arguments.

The reference you cite applies to document templates, not to Normal.
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...307561033.aspx, which
clearly refers to Normal.dotm. Same for
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc179177.aspx. And
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../dd797428.aspx says about
the .dotm format: "Template for creating new Office Word 2007 files
that contain macros. If you want to include UI customizations or
macros in the template, use this file format." About .dotx, it says,
"Template for creating new Office Word 2007 files that do not contain
macros." Neither of these applies to the Normal template.

Google finds only one English-language result for "Normal.dotx" when
searching within http://office.microsoft.com, and I believe it to be
an error. All the other language versions are translations of an
article on setting the default font in Word; that article is found at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...144081033.aspx, and it
says "Normal.dotm."

If you have a Normal.dotx, it's because you've resaved it in that
format or renamed it.

For the latter, open your normal.dot or normal.dotm or normal.dotx

Note you said or "normal.dotx." Continue your arguments or slink off
as you wish.

Certainly I had normal.dot as well. I guess my system was a freak!

There shouldn't be a "normal.dotx" file unless someone
intentionally saved
it to the user templates folder. But note that if you are running
Word 2003
and Word 2007 on the same machine, there will be a normal.dot file.

I didn't have any macros for months after installing Office2007,
and my normal. template was normal.dotx until I did.

Does my stalker imagine that people have nothing else to do with
their lives than monitor newsgroups so they can post instant
responses?

No, it's Normal.dotm by default. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to
save a
macro in it. A .dotm file is not one that *contains* macros but
one that
is
macro-enabled.

Not until you've put at least one macro into it!

To clarify, the file name extension for the Normal template in
Word 2007
is
*.dotm (macro-enabled template).

Do you want to change the size of all your existing documents, or
do
you want _new_ documents to be set to 16 pt?

For the latter, open your normal.dot or normal.dotm or
normal.dotx template (which version of Word?), not by
double-clicking it, but from
within Word, and Modify (which version of Word?) the Normal style
to
change its font size.

My word docs always open at font size 11. I wouldm like to
change this
to
16.
How do we do that?
Thanks, JE----
