[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1422680, member: 46727"] In order to make changes to the "normal.dotm" (not normal.dot, that's only in Windows) do this: Start Word 2011. Select open from the file menu. Navigate to the following location: MacIntosh HD/Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/normal.dotm Open normal.dotm and make whatever changes you need to. Save the file but make absolute certain you save it as "normal.dotm" and nothing else. Shut down Word 2011 and restart it. Your changes will be saved. One more thing.... if you're using Lion, your library folder is hidden. You will have to unhide it first. You can not use the "Go" command here since the changes have to be done within Word itself. Do this to unhide the library folder: Open your terminal application (Applications, Utilities, Terminal.app) and type in the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library Now press enter. Exit terminal and your user library folder will appear. [/QUOTE]
