Hi Graham,
I still dont unerstand why there is a different behavior between the two
ways of creating a Word document.
Can I suggest a little game ?
1. Get into Word 2007, create a new document, place it on the desktop. Il's
called Doc1. Zip it.
2. Right cick the destop or the explorer/ new / create a new doc / call it
Doc2, place it on the desktop. Zip it.
3. Delete Doc1 & 2, just keep the two compressed folders.
4. Extract the 2 compressed files, and see what happens...
Then you will maybe understand why there may be some sort of a bug somewhere.
Kind regards

The default template for Word 2007 is normal.dotm and can only be created by
Word. *You* cannot create normal.dot or dotm in any version. Whatever your
normal.dot is and where it is stored, it doesn't appear to have anything to
do with the creation of documents.
Locate normal.dotm (it's in the folder indicated at Word Options Advanced
File locations User templates) and edit that to apply your
personalisations.

Greeting from (old) Europe!
I have a problem with Word 2007 (but I think it was the same with the
previous versions).
I have created a template for a blank page which is stored as
normal.dot. It works fine.
However, if, incidentally, I use "right click / New / Word document",
what appears on the screen is NOT based on my normal.dot, but, I
think, on some default MS template.
Did anyone came across this unpleasant situeation ? Is there a way to
tackle this problem.
Thanks for enlighting us, poor Europeans !
