Cannot save normal template changes
I open a new file, select template, make changes and then try to save.
Message says I cannot name a template same as an open template, etc. What do I do? Thx. |

I get that every once and a while. It seems to happen most often if I have Outlook Express and Word open at the same time. (But even then it doesn't happen all the time.) What do I do? I give it a new name, such as "newnormal.dot". I then exit Word and go to the C:\Documents and Settings\{your name}\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\ folder and rename normal.dot "oldnormal.dot" and newnormal.dot "normal.dot". -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

Note that you cannot "create" a Normal.dot this way; only Word can create
Normal.dot. Even a template based from the start on Normal.dot (that is, by selecting Template in the New dialog) will not contain all the contents of Normal.dot. See “WD2002: Styles and AutoText Are Not Copied to New Template Based on Normal.dot” (applicable to all versions) at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291441 -- Suzanne S.
