normal.dot for Word 2003 in Vista
microsoft/I have spent four hours trying to change normal.dot in Word 2003
installed in Vista. I have tried program files\microsoft office\templates\1033 and also user......\roaming\microsoft\windows. I cannot seem to store the updated normal.dot. Apparently the normal.dot is stored somewhere which is hidden to searches and windows explorer. |

Apparently the normal.dot is stored somewhere which is hidden to searches and windows explorer. Yes, it is in a folder that's marked as hidden, but it is possible to go there. Enter the expression %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates in the address bar of the Computer application and press Enter. This works because %appdata% is a standard environment variable that points to the folder C:\Users\profile name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

normal.dot for Word 2003 in Vista
While Jay has explained how to find normal.dot, if you open normal.dot to
make changes to it when you save it it will save back into the correct folder you opened it from. Note that you cannot create normal.dot, only Word can do that. Simply creating a template and naming it normal.dot will not work correctly. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org vheying wrote: microsoft/I have spent four hours trying to change normal.dot in Word 2003 installed in Vista.
