Default Can't Backup Normal Template

Search Windows for all files called Normal.dotm (be sure to search hidden files
and folders). The file must be somewhere. If you're not already displaying
filename extensions in Windows, choose to do so (it's in Folder Options).

By the way, which kind of customizations are we talking about here? Note that
not everything is saved in Normal.dotm. Macros, for example, could be in a
custom template or in an add-in.

OP here.

Yes, Word generated a new template with the default fonts of Calibri and
Cambria (headings).

The question is, Where is my template? How can I find the active dotm
file?

I look into where the options where it says the file would be, but that
file always has the old timestamp on it. The customizations and changes
are being saved somewhere else, but I can't figure out where. It is not
in the folder designated by Word options it seems.
