Well be default, Word 2003 does not create a normal.dot until such time as
it needs to save customisations. As yours isn't saving any changes, the
normal.dot that you are seeing must belong to an old installation. Rename
normal.dot as normal.old and test it again.

normal.dot -
:

:
: If normal.dot is still not saving your changes, then I suggest you
search
