Default Default Settings

I have saved a Normal.dotm to be used on everyone's new install of Offiice
2007 in our company. I have just noticed that the margins in that template
are set to 2 cm when I OPEN it, but when I just double click it to make a NEW
document, the margins are 2.54 cm - why?
I thought the whole point in setting up a template is to dictate the
settings for new documents based on that template!

It sounds like a letter template has been saved over Normal.dotm. Close
Word, find Normal.dotm, and delete it. Word will automatically create a new
one.

If you still get this behavior after deleting Normal.dotm, then check to see
if there's a copy of Normal.dot present... and if so, then delete both it
and Normal.dotm.

Every time i open word 2007 and create a new document it appears to open
as a
letter template. The margins are not the normal size and there is a letter
head with my name, this gets annoying i have to delete every time. can you
tell me how i can set word back to its original settings.
