Hi, I just got a new computer with Win XP and Microsoft Word 2002
preloaded.
I am trying to transfer my old normal.dot file from Word 97 (which I have
customized for my needs). Does anyone know how I can get Word 2002 to use
my
old normal.dot without having to do all the customizing over again??
Thanks in advance.
