I can't say for sure about Vista, but under Windows XP, the folder where
Normal.dot is stored is a hidden one, so you have to explicitly search
hidden and system folders (or have them displayed in Windows Explorer if
you're looking manually).

I am using Office 2003 on a newly acquired Windows Vista computer.
I am making a number of changes to Word - Autotext, macros, custom toolbar
and buttons, etc.
I want to backup normal.dot but can not find it, even with a search.
Where does it live?
Many thanks
Marsh
