How do I find the normal.dot template so I can make modifications?
The Word help file tells me to follow a path (C:\Documents and Settings\user
name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates) to where I can find the normal.dot template. However, I don't seem to have that path on my PC. I cannot find a folder named Application Data, nor a folder named Microsoft. I tried a search for normal.dot and it only came up with templates for forms, Faxes, proposals, etc, etc. - no normal.dot. Can anyone tell me where I can find normal.dot??? I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5606). |

The problem is that the Application Data folder is normally hidden. Open
Windows Explorer, go to Tools Folder Options. Select the View tab. Check 'Show hidden files and folders'. "zunitalks" wrote in message ...

In addition to what Jezebel has said, make sure that the folder given by
Help is the one that applies to your machine: check the path for "User templates" on the File Locations tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.
