Normal template
Where do I find the Normal.dotm template in Office 2007? Finding it in 2003
was easy but I can never find it in Office 2007. Help files tell you to click New and then choose Templates but that folder is empty. And the search in Vista never finds it. I know it's there somewhere - can anyone help? Thanks a bunch. |

Normal template
Same place as 2003 in your Templates ¨Blank Document¨ is Normal.dotm. If you
look in Office Button Word Options Advanced General File Locations you will see the default template path or you can change it. Hope this helps. "David Hankinson" wrote in message ...

Appreciate your response. However, the path you suggest takes you to User
Templates when what I am looking for is the location of the program's Normal.dotm template. "Summer" wrote: Same place as 2003 in your Templates ¨Blank Document¨ is Normal.dotm.

Normal template
Normal.dotm *is* saved in the user templates folder (or it should be if Word
has been setup correctly). Note this is a hidden file and location. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org David Hankinson wrote: Appreciate your response.

Normal template
Thanks very much. Never thought of looking for a hidden file. Guess I
should have as I seen to recall the Normal template has always been a hidden file. Found it. Much appreciated.

Normal template
Graham - can you provide a path for me as I changed my settings to look in a
templates directory I had set up. I tried to save one of my own templates that I used under word 2003 as my default and it won't let me - keeps showing me its cruddy normal version. I have tried to rename the template I want to use, put it in what I think is the right directory and nothing...... highly frustrated individual "Graham Mayor" wrote: Normal.dotm *is* saved in the user templates folder (or it should be if Word has been setup correctly).

Normal template
Only Word can create a normal template!
The user template path which will contain the normal template is whatever is configured at Word Optuins Advanced General File Locations User templates.
