[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1795153, member: 131855"] Template 1 is the name that Microsft is giving the document because it thinks this is going to be a user template. What you really want to do is [B]replace [/B]the normal teemplate that Word uses as the basis for its documents. Once you make the changes to your template it has to be saved with the same name as the original Microsoft template. The path exists on your Mac but can't be seen because your user Library folder is hidden on that version of macOS. Here's how to find the right path. 1. Frome the Finder Go menu choose Go to Folder and when the dialog sheet appears type ~[COLOR=#333333]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/Normal.dotm The tilde at the begining of that path is impoortant. That's what sends you down the path for [B]your Library[/B] rather than the System Library. 2. Normal.m is the document that needs to be replaced. Open a document in Word and give it the font, margins, and other settings you want the your documenst to start with Save the document as a template with the name Normal.m It has to have that name. That [B]s[/B][B]hould[/B] work but it has been a while since I did that. If you have problems post back. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
