[QUOTE="chscag, post: 981259, member: 46727"] First make sure you're not saving documents or templates in Word using "compatibility mode". In other words, use the XML format for saving templates and documents. (At least for now until the normal.dotm gets changed) The "normal.dotm" template you need to modify is located in /User Templates You should not have a copy of normal.dotm located in the /My Templates folder. That folder is specifically for templates that you may have created and are using for special purposes apart from what is already supplied by the program. I have all my special templates located there. When you double click on the normal.dotm file, it will open in Word as "document1" and will want to be saved to your documents folder as a document file. You have to over ride that. Select "save as", use the down arrow in file type and select Word template. Save as "normal.dotm" and point the location to your ".........../User Templates. That will automatically create a backup file of your normal.dotm (that you overwrote) if you have that feature turned on. Sometimes my explanation can get a bit "wordy" (sorry about that) so here's a nice tutorial that you might find helpful. [URL="http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Microsoft-Office-Word-2007/0040__Editing/OpenandeditNormaldotm.htm"]LINK[/URL] Let me know how it went. Regards. [/QUOTE]
