I am trying to copy my macros and customizations in Word 2003 (Windows XP)
into a new (global) template so that I don't loose them all when Normal.dot
corrupts itself.

I have carefully followed the instructions recommended by the Forum at "Word
New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word"

I get the new template created, use the Organizer to copy the macros,
comment out all the macros in Normal.dot, move the New.dot to the
Word\Startup directory and open Word. It appears to open using New.dot but
when I look at Visual Basic Editor, it will not allow me to expand the
New.dot to view the Modules but says "Project Locked; Project unviewable."

Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried this two times now with the same
results. Thanks for any help anyone might be able to offer!
