Do you have Acrobat 7? If so, its add-in interferes with the ability to save
changes to normal.dot. Complain loudly to Adobe. In the meantime lose the
add-in or open normal.dot and make the changes there.

Word 2003 - I'm trying to update the "heading" styles to use in
several documents. I created one document and set the styles the way
I wanted them, then went into the Organizer and copied all of them to
the Normal.dot. However, when I open a new doc based on Normal.dot,
the changes I made to those styles are not there, specifically the
left margin (everything else seems to have been saved). I then went
back to my master document, selected each style, clicked Modify and
checked "Add to template." That didn't work either. All of the
headings are based on the "Normal" style which is correct in
Normal.dot.
