Can't figure how to Automatically fill in frequently typed phr
Actually, you can--I am. Normal.dotm may be the default, but defaults can be
changed. I tried my Normal.dot as an Add-in first, and that is what kept resetting. Everytime I opened Word, I had to go in and re-enable the Add-in for it to work. On the other hand, the last step I took worked: Office button - Word Options - Advanced - File Locations, and then I modified the templates location to point toward my network drive as I had with my documents folder and just forgot where the setting was. It has worked properly ever since. "Graham Mayor" wrote: OK, I see your point, but it doesn't alter the fact that the default user template for Word 2007 is not normal.dot but normal.dotm. You could use normal.dot as an addin or you could use it to help create normal.dotm, but you cannot use it *instead* of normal.dotm. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Weyana wrote: On the contrary--I was able to make it work. We have our own shared server at home, on which I store my work so that I can have access whether I'm on my desktop or my laptop. My Word 2003 Normal.dot is saved to this network. What that article is indicating is that multiple users cannot use a shared Normal template concurrently, because the user who opened it first would have write-access, and any changes that another user made to the Auto-Correct entries or anything else would be lost. I'm the only one using it, I just access it from different computers. But it's perfectly compatible with 2007--I just had to find the right way share it.

It doesn't automatically load when it opens for some reason. :P Hoping I finally made it stick today. You cannot share the Normal.dot file http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468 The normal template for Word 2007 is normal.dotm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
