Changing the Normal template
I have Office 2007 on my new Windows 7 OS. When going through Help to learn
how to modify the Normal template, the instructions only tell you what to do for Vista and XP OS. How do you modify and save a new Normal.dot template? -- Judy18

Changing the Normal template
First, since you're using Word 2007, it will be Normal.dotm, not Normal.dot.
Second, the instructions for Vista should also work for Windows 7. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Judy18" wrote in message ...

Modifying Normal.dotm template on Windows 7 machine
On a Windows 7 machine, the only file to appear in the list is NormalEmail.dotm. So it's not the same. The normal.dotm isn't in the list of available templates.

Modifying Normal.dotm template on Windows 7 machine
If you've used Word 2007 at least once, Normal.dotm exists on your computer.
It might be in a system/hidden folder, in which case you would need to set your folder options to display such files. In Word 2007, press Ctrl+O. In the upper left part of the Open dialog box, do you have a left panel where it says Microsoft Word, and under that, it says Templates? If so, Normal.dotm should be in that Templates folder. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Katherine Ramsey" wrote in message ...
