Can you change normal.dot and have it affect all users after?
I want changes to become the default for all users on the
computer/organization. Is there a way to get word to change the defaults without having to go into each profile? |

Don't change normal.dot. Distribute your customizations as document
templates (workgroup templates) and as additional global templates. Use Office Policies when setting up your computers. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. -- 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.

I guess I'm not familiar with Office Policies. I know how to move templates,
but thank you for the links. I learned a few things I didn't know. Is there a way to set the workgroup template directory for all users on a computer? |
