How do you change the default startup document. I have tried opening
a blank document, setting the font, margins, layout etc. the way I want
and then saving as Doc1.dot and Document1.dot in the STARTUP folder,
but no go with either.

I also tried changing the settings under ToolsOptionsFile Locations
but I still endup with the old default starting document.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks
