Thank you everyone for the excellent information. I fully understand the
differences and the uses for each. Now, I'm explaining to my coworkers the
differences and uses.

Thank you once again.

Can someone please explain the difference between Normal.dot and online
templates - each with the exact same styles. Or point me to a Web site that
can explain the difference. Please see my concern below.

I work in an office where we have Normal.dot set up with the styles we use
in our engineering documents. We also have online Word templates set up with
the same styles so the engineers can enter their information and the
formatting would be applied.

If the online templates contain the styles needed to format the engineering
documents, why do we need Normal.dot to have the same styles. Why do we need
Normal.dot at all???

Any explanation you can offer would ge greatly appreciated.
