DOTM Deployment
I have created a Normal.dotm file fro several people to use. It works
exactly as we need on my machine. When I e-mail it to others, to save into the Microsoft\Templates folder, some of the features change, such as numbered list settings. Whed clicking the little arrow next to the Numbered List button on my computer, I see four selections of number formats, all Right aligned. On another machine, we see 8, all left aligned. I know the normal.dotm file is producing new documents because logos that I put into the Header are appearing on other machines. How can I prevent this type of behavior where some setting seem to be changing. Thank you all Pepper |

DOTM Deployment
Such customizations are inappropriate for the Normal template (which users
cannot "create" but only modify). Each user's Normal.dotm should be personal and not tampered with by outsiders. You should instead create a document template with the features you want and distribute that, instructing users to use it for whatever purposes you envision it being used for. In particular, adding *anything* to the header of Normal.dotm is very ill-advised, as it will affect labels and possibly envelopes as well. -- Suzanne S.
