Default Vista & Word2003 & Normal template

Hi,

I have done it all (again) but no help. Allway is the same, there are no
changes. I cannot find normal.dot. I can see all hidden and systems files. It
shoud be on: C:\\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates but it is not.
Neither is somewhere else. Or I cannot find it.

One more thing, make sure that you have checked the option to view hidden
and system files, or you won't find normal.dot.

Thanks Terry,
yes, that is true. But, that is trial version, and I have licence for
Office
2003, so I have installed my old version. And what now?


In the mean time I renamed normal.dotm to normal.old and replace to other
folder. When I started the Word, nothing happened. Still somewhere exist
some
kind of normal template, but where, I do not know. I searched for any file
with name normal and I founded onyl normal.old, nothing elese. Word didnot
create some new normal.dot or dotm.

Please, any help would be nice.

Regards,
Cordelia

Well what you say you have is impossible. So I would guess that as you
have
Vista Business, you have a new computer and it must have come with a
trial
version of Office 2007 pre-installed.

I'm running Word 2003 on Vista Business. I tryed to save word
customisation
such a font, styles, toolbars and etc, but it was imposiblle. No change
was
saved. I founded the new path for normal.dot - but there was
normal.dotm
instead of normal.dot -- but I have Word 2003 not Word 2007. I cannot
open
or edit normal.dotm and cannot create or save normal.dot. When I tryed
to
save a word document with styles like a template I got message
something
like: Word cannot save a documents with the same name like open
documents.
If
I search for normal.dot there a no results. I can just find
normal.dotm.

What s happened? What to do, please help.
