Default Standard text disappearing in Normal.dot

We want to change the normal.dot footer for every user on every machine in
the domain, so the footer displays standard doc management text - change
dates, versions, authors and the like.
However (and this is where it gets odd), if we put text in the normal.dot,
save, close, and create a document based on it, we can't see the text.
If the template is renamed - to "abnormal.dot", for example, save, close,
and create a document based on it, the boilerplate text appears!
Freeeeeky.
