It has never been possible to "merge the template of the open document into"
Normal.dot. It is (still) possible to set some defaults in a document that
are saved to Normal.dot (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...lTemplate.htm), and
many customizations are saved in Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm) by default.

OK now I'm totally confused after reading all the previous post. Recently
I
upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007 (wow what a pain-in-the-ass
change)
and cannot easily find stuff (sorry but IMHO the ribbon is a GIANT step
backwards). I get so tired of clicking on things only to discover what I'm
looking for is not there. In office 2003 I made extensive modifications to
the normal.dot file and now I want these changes in my normal.dotm file.
In
2003 I could open a document and merge the template of the open document
into
my normal template. Is this possible in 2007? If so how?
