Location of "normal.dot" file in Word 2007 under Vista ULTIMATE?
I would like to BACK-UP the "normal.dot" (or whatever it's called) file for
Word 2007 running under Vista Ultimate. My goal is to save the toolbar settings and macros . . . and then COPY that "normal.dot" file . . . to ANOTHER computer running Vista. Hopefully, that way I won't have to recreate the custom toolbar icons, etc. What is the CORRECT name of the file I am looking for?? (probably not "Normal.dot") And will it save my toolbar icons, when tranferred to another Vista machine? Thanks |

The normal template in Word 2007 is a hidden file called normal.dotm. It
will be in the folder indicated at Word Options Advanced File Locations User Templates. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jim In Minneapolis wrote: I would like to BACK-UP the "normal.dot" (or whatever it's called) file for Word 2007 running under Vista Ultimate.

Location of "normal.dot" file in Word 2007 under Vista ULTIMAT
Thanks for your help, Graham
It seems that the "normal.dotm" file does not include the "QUICK ACCESS" toolbar icon configuration. (Copying that file from one PC to another ONLY transfers macros ) Do you know how I can "back up" a file . . . that DOES contain the "QUICK ACCESS" toolbar icons? (I have quite a few!)

The QAT is stored in a separate file - C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\Word.qat or its equivalent path in Vista. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jim In Minneapolis wrote: Thanks for your help, Graham It seems that the "normal.dotm" file does not include the "QUICK ACCESS" toolbar icon configuration.

Ok. Here is the path on my PC : C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Application Data
However, when I use Windows Explorer to browse to it then click on that folder (which, by the way, indicates it is a "shortcut" rather than normal yellow folder), I am not allowed to browse the contents. I get this error message: "C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Application Data is NOT ACCESSIBLE. ACCESS DENIED".

I regret I don't know anything about Vista or how its permissions work.

Hi Graham
Ok. I will research the "Vista" permission. I appreciate your kindness in helping me . . . I am sure your advice is correct, once I get past the permissions thing.
