Hi Anne,
I have done the following test:
1. Open »Normal.dotm«
2. Put some text in it »Copy of normal.dotm«
3. Make a new file via Word NEW - Blank File -- You WILL get a copy of
normal.dotm
4. Now make a new File via context-menu of the explorer -- You WILL see
thats it is NOT a copy of normal.dotm
So I think, there must be another mechanism in use whren generating the new
file with the explorer.
I would like to make sure, that a user gets exactly the same result,
independant of the way that she/he generates the new file.
Regards
Karl.

I am curious, Karl. Why are you so sure that it is NOT normal.dot?

I would like to create a new Word-2007-Document direct via Explorer in the
following way.
1. Right click at the desktop
2. New Microsoft Word Dokument -- the system creates a new Word Dokument
on the desktop (size is 0 Bytes!)
3. Open the new Document in Word. This works fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The question now ist, which template was copied in this case.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It is NOT the normal.dotx File!
And there is no file in the Windows\Shellnew-Folder for Word 2007 (in
word 2003 there was a file in this folder, which was copied!)
Does anybody know, what happens in this case? How can I control a blank
document, which was created in this way?
It would be great, if there is a way to get the system to make a copy
based on normal.dotx, when creating a new document in this way.
Thanks for help.
Regards
Karl Zuern.
