You can't delete the Normal template unless you first exit Word.
However, I recommend that you don't delete the template but rename it
instead.

context
(because I'm using an NNTP newsreader where older messages get deleted
regularly).

In what way do you want to change the footnotes in Word? Which version
of
Word are you using?

Hello Stephan and Lisa
Using Word 2010 Win 32 bit
Can I start again because I have been doing some trouble shooting
although I am not sure I can make my problem clear. I have had a macro
for footnotes and I was using it trouble free. It is still in global
templates. It was just a margin setting in footnotes. I have a lot of
add ons because I have endnote citation software that opens with Word.
1. My main problem was that I have inadvertently saved some files in
word and others in macro template. I didn't create this and don’t know
how it happened. HOWEVER
2 I now have a normal.dotm problem. As a result I have a lot of files
that appear to be roaming files and I cannot open them.
3 Normal.dotm. I only have one normal file which is macro enabled as I
deleted all the others although I didn’t have any that were not macro
enabled. But I cannot delete the last one because I get the message
that I have a word document open elsewhere. I don’t have an actual
document open but I do have word open without a document. I can’t get
rid of this until I save it but then I get a message that a file is open
so I don’t save and it goes away until I open a word file again. So I go
for don’t save and of course it comes back again.
4 So I do not have a normal.dotm word file, just a normal.docm in macro
enabled templates.

I have tried a few things. In options, advanced, I do not have prompt
before saving ticked.
I have searched for normal.dotm and only have the macro enabled
normal.dotm. I cannot delete this because I have the file open again. I
also get a lot of files that are read only files. So all sorts of
problems. This has only been happening over a week. Another option I
have changed is preserve fidelity when sharing. I have ticked saved
embedded fonts. I don’t know if this will fix the italics problem. In
cut copy and paste I have changed to keep source formatting. But this
seems to revert back to other options.
I receive files back from proofreading and they come back to me ok.
So my first problem is dealing with the normal.dotm files.
I hope you can make sense of this.

kind regards
