Default Normal/Blank Document Template in Word 2007

Hi, I have a question about the normal/Blank Document template in Word 2007.
When I go to create a new template based on the normal template (by clicking
the Office button and going to New, My Templates, and then choosing €śBlank
Document€ť), normal style in the new template has 10 points of space after and
line spacing set to Multiple 1.15. I dont understand this because when I
create a new document based on the normal template, normal is, well, normal:
no space after and set to single line spacing. I guess this isnt that big a
deal but I really dont understand it.

At first I thought that maybe I had accidentally altered the normal
template, but if I had, wouldnt every new blank document I created also have
a normal style of 10 points of space after and line spacing set to Multiple
1.15? Right now I only get that if I try to create a new template. New
documents based on the €śBlank Document€ť template seem fine. Can anyone shed
any light on this? Thanks in advance for any information.

Are you sure the Normal template you refer to with "when I create a new document
based on the normal template" is the same one Word is using when you choose "Blank
document"? If you search your system (hidden files!) for Normal.dot* what turns up?

Default Normal/Blank Document Template in Word 2007

I'm seeing a similar problem: a full file search of my entire HD reveals just
ONE normal.dot file, and I have Word's Workgroup Templates location set to
use that location where that file is.

Yet, when I create a new blank document in word, I get a blank document with
different margins from the margins I have saved in my normal.dot.

Since this seems to be really erratic behavior, I guess the first thing I'll
try is to re-create a new normal.dot - assuming my normal.dot has become
corrupted somehow. Maybe this would help the original poster, too.
