Normal.dotx
We are using Office 2007 on Windows XP workstations.
With previous versions of Office the Normal template, Normal.dot, was saved to C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Date\Microsoft\Templates. It was easy to deploy updates to the Normal template as company policy dictated. We didnt do this often, but there were times when certain prescribed items needed to be added to the computers of certain departments. I have created a new template for the use of 26 people (Normal.dotx) and when I save it to there computers, it seems to change certain of the features that are built-in and active on my computer. Has something changed that I am not aware of? I cant seem to figure out why copying the template into the Templates folder does not seem to work. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions Paul |

The default Normal template in Word 2007 is Normal.dotm. But note that you
cannot "create" the Normal template. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "PA" wrote in message ...

Normal.dotx
Thank you.
I was "confused" with the various flavors of dot*. One of these days, that little light bulb will ignite over my head (re Office 2007). Thank goodness for you and your collegues. And I didnt really mean create, what I did mean was modify and then replace on a number of computers at the same time. "Suzanne S.

Normal.dotx
I don't know how to apply my styles to normal.dotx. 2007 HELP says to click
open Word Templates and normal.dotm will show up but it doesn't. How do I set the default styles to my styles? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The default Normal template in Word 2007 is Normal.dotm.

Normal.dotx
You don't need to open Normal.dotm to do this. Modify the styles as desired
and be sure to choose the radio button for "All new documents based on this template." To choose which styles are displayed, use the Style Manager. -- Suzanne S.
