Close Word and delete normal.dot and replace with new newname.dot
Why do you want to do this? It rather defeats the object of normal.dot.
Instead set tools options save prompt to save normal.dot and don't save any unwanted changes to it. You cannot delete Normal.dot from Word as it is locked while Word is open and vba will not run when it has closed.. You would have to do this through some form of log-on script before Word starts. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SG wrote: I would like to have word each time it is closed to Replace normal.dot with newname.dot ever time word is closed. i have put a folder on the c drive named cleannorm and in the folder I have newname.dot How can I do this not good at vb.

Why?
Normal.dot is intended to be a holder of individual customizations. It should not be shared. Is this a public computer? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
