I have seen conflicting opinions on the net regarding email.dot...so I'm not
sure what to believe. One thing though...make sure you are looking at the
normal.dot that your account is using. I believe sometimes there is a "main"
normal.dot as well as another for specific logins. I seem to remember
getting tripped up by that at one time. It seemed like the "special" one
wasn't created until I modified it. Renaming it should help clarify that. If
a new one isn't created in that folder, then you'll know that is not the
template file being used by Word/Outlook. But I am not an Office/Outlook
expert so I could be totally wrong. I've been on Vista and Office 2007 since
the beta days and am slowly forgetting the "old" days of XP and Office 2003.
