Normal.dot versus blank document template
I have been involved in several discussions regarding this recently and
would like to try and clear this up. My firm hold the normal.dot (and all other templates) in a central templates folder on our network. Each user has a copy on their C drive which updates every day when they log on. This means if the network crashes they can still work with their template(s). Normal.dot contains all of our macros, styles, autotexts etc. When I update I simply update the master version and this is replicated to each pc. This means if a user's normal.dot gets damaged it can be copied from the master, and if something goes wrong with the master I can copy my (or someone else's c drive version). This seems to work well but everything I read tells me we shouldn't use normal.dot as our blank document - can anyone tell me a good reason why we should change? thanks |
