Default Normal.dot size growing for our users

We have a domain enviornment that our users have roaming profiles. We have
each users Normal.dot saved to their own personal drive on our network. We
are using Office 2003 Professional in a Windows XP enviornment. The users
use word quite often and after the user closes out of word it saves to their
Normal.dot. These Normal.dot's grow in size pretty quickly and has become a
crazy task to constantly clean up the Normal.dot's. We have 4-5 custom
macros that I believe may be the cause.

I have read the article http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm
that seems like a good solution to move the macros to a different template,
however one of our macros that we use lets a user to be able to hotkey and
save to a specific user network location via a UNC path. Each save area is
different for each user.

Does anyone have an idea on how i can make a seperate globaltemplate but
still be able to file save to individual unc path's?

Or does anyone have any other idea's on how I can keep the nomral.dot from
growing or at least limiting its size?

Thanks!!
