How to Change Word 2007 Template?
Hello,
Every time I open a new Word 2007 document, it comes with a default format that I don't want. I tried revising the Normal.dotm file (actually, I found a few on my computer, so I cahnged them all), yet the same old formatting still persists. I don't know what should I do. I would really appreciate your help. Sam

In the Modify style dialog for the Normal style, click on "New documents
based on this template" before you click OK. "Sam" wrote: Hello, Every time I open a new Word 2007 document, it comes with a default format that I don't want.

How to Change Word 2007 Template?
Unless you have multiple user profiles on your PC, there should only be one
normal.dotm file and unless you have changed the location of that file, it will be in the hidden folder accessed by typing %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates in the address bar of Windows Explorer or your browser. This can, and any other copy of normal.dotm in your profile should, be deleted (with Word closed) which will restore the install defaults for the normal template. What then do you want to change? It may be sufficient to Change Styles Style Set Word 2003. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sam wrote: Hello, Every time I open a new Word 2007 document, it comes with a default format that I don't want.
