I am an experienced office user.

I updated from 2003 in October last yeaer and still cannot get on with the
new office. I hate the ribbon structure but will try the suggested ribbon
solution elsewhere on this forum.

My main problem right now is that Word keeps replacing the normal.dotm. I
have developed the normal dot for many years and for the first 3 months it
worked fine with word 2007 under the .dotm mode but for the last 8 weeks
almost every day it replaces my normal.dotm with a new 16k normal.dotm. It
backs up mine and I can replace the new version but it is such a bind! I
tried making my normal.dotm read only but that doesnt stop word replacing it
either. Am I mising a tick box which says replace my normal.dotm everytime I
close down?
