Default Need to modify header of all new documents.

Create a separate template. Modifying normal.dot that way will screw up far
more than you think.

Hello,

I'm trying to edit the header so that all new documents are created with
the current date and time and with my name and iniitals. I figure I'm
going to have to edit the normal.dot file, but when I tried (by opening
it, making a change and saving it back as a template, the changes didn't
take.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff
