Lock down the styles in corporate templates if you must, and make it
mandatory for everyone to use them, but please do not try to lock down
Normal.dotm, which is intended to be an individual user's personal
scratchpad. Admittedly, much less customization is possible (or at least
easy) in Word 2007 than in previous versions, but users should be able to
add buttons to the QAT, define ad hoc styles, save AutoText entries, etc.

I'm trying to 'lock down' Word 2007 styles etc so that the company's
documents all use the same layout. I'd like everyone to start with the
same
normal.dotx/normal.dotm, is there any way to do this other than copying
the
file to each user's startup folder? Also, what's the best way of making
the
organisation's standard building blocks/quick parts and themes available
to
everyone for ALL documents (not just particular templates), can you do
this
without having to put them in each user's Building Blocks or Document
Themes
folder?

Any ideas gratefully received.
