Yes, you can make multiple custom document templates. In addition, you can
make one or more custom global templates. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.

Hi

I would like to change my normal.dot file but unfortunately our IT
department insist on making it a read only file and will not let me amend
it.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a new template and to use this
instead of the normal.dot file?

Thanks

Edgar
