simple format question
i am a writer and cannot seem to find a way use as a default template a
plain old word document that: indents the first paragraph, double-spaces and uses times new roman 12 pt. I have ms basic office 2003. seems to me my old word did this. p.s. would also love any advice as to how to have a new document appear without having to go through the multisteps of deciding whether it's a new doc or folder, etc., i want to create. thanks anyone! |

You can get something like this at
http://home.earthlink.net/~wordsintotype/Template.htm. Although you could customize Normal.dot to do this, I do not recommend it; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm. It is much better to use a specific template for this purpose and access it via the File | New dialog. Word 2003 makes this dialog somewhat more difficult to access, but you can use Tools | Customize to add a button for the FileNewDialog command on a menu or toolbar. -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
We have developed software (called DocTidy) which applies the template AFTER you have typed your document (in fact it can apply and reapply at anytime during your writing). We have literally just completed some trials on a variant of the software call DocTidy Author (I'm an amateur author myself and so I was keen tsee us develop this). It basically applies double spacing, Times New Roman font 12 to a document at the press of a button. We'll hopefully be launching DocTidy Author in the near future.
