Changing the default startup document
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 Gus |

Changing the default startup document
Hi Gus,
Word's default template is named 'Normal.dot'. If you open that (File|OpenFiles of type: Document Templates) and set its parameters to what you want, then you'll have the desired default layout & structure.
