How do I modify normal.dot so that the default page numbering is bottom
center with numbering on first page?


While you can modify normal.dot like any other temp;late, it's best not
to because some Word problems are solved by deleting normal.dot which
forces Word to regenerate the template in it original form (without your
changes). Better to create your own template with the desired numbering.
