Don't change normal.dot. Distribute your customizations as document
templates (workgroup templates) and as additional global templates. Use
Office Policies when setting up your computers. 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.

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

I want changes to become the default for all users on the
computer/organization. Is there a way to get word to change the defaults
without having to go into each profile?
