Normal.dot
Absolutely not! Normal.dot is an individual user file. It must not be
shared. Set company standards with appropriate document templates and make it a condition of employment that they use them. You can share the document templates - http://www.gmayor.com/Template_Locations.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Wakinson wrote: I want eveyone in my company to use the same normal.dot file so when they open word their default font style and size is arial 12.

Normal.dot
Possible, yes, but it will cause you lots of unnecessary problems.
Normal.dot is not designed to be shared. It is designed to be an individual user's scratchpad of customizations. Document templates are intended to hold styles. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
