Word 2007 - WinXP SP2 - Normal.dotm not being used
1. While in Word, I changed my font to Times New Roman 12 and saved it as
the default font. When I open a new Word document using the Word application, this works correctly. However, when I open a new Word document from the desktop (right click desktop, click New, click Microsoft Office Word Document) or from a folder which has been added as a desktop shortcut (Open the folder, click File, click New, click MS Office Word Document), the factory default font (Calibri-body 11) is being used. 2. I also want to force all documents to open in Draft View regardless of how they were saved or where they came from, so I added the below macro to my Normal.dotm template (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\normal.dotm): Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView End Sub Then I enabled opening docs in Draft view, which is in the Word Options: Office Button |Word Options | Advanced | General |Allow Opening a Document in Draft View. When opening a new Word document using the Word application, the above works correctly. However, when I open a new Word document from the desktop (right click desktop, click New, click MS Office Word Document) or from a folder which has been added as a desktop shortcut (Open the folder, click File, click New, click Microsoft Office Word Document), the document opens in Draft View, but the font is back to the factory default font of Calibri-body 11. I don't understand why only part of the modification to the normal.dotm file is showing up when opening from the desktop or a shortcut folder on the desktop. Can anyone tell me where the template is located that is being used when opening a new Word document from the desktop or a shortcut folder on the desktop so that it can be modified? |
