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. |

Normal/Blank Document Template in Word 2007
Hi ?B?Q2hhcnRyZXVzZQ==?=,
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.

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? 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?

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. "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?Q2hhcnRyZXVzZQ==?=, I have a question about the normal/Blank Document template in Word 2007.
