2007 Normal Template

[Maria]

My Normal.dotx (or dotm) is no where to be found. I open word. I know where
it is directed to. I have tried Alt, T, I and then clicked Attched (the
Document Template comes up with Normal). when I get there, there is no
normal anything...

I want to start from scratch with the normal.dotx that word came with to set
up my company's standards. I have tried putting in my old normal.dot from
2003 but it kept coming up with (Companitibliy Mode) in the title bar so I
thought I'd better start from scratch - only I can't find the orignal normal
for 2007.

Anyone?

Did you check "Show Hidden Files" before you ran the Search?

I found the answer on another website. It says that there is no normal.dotx
or m that is automatically generated - as lower versions of word did. So I
installed my old normal.dot and saved it as a normal.dotm. It seems to work,
so I will have to go with that for now.
Thanks

I find that rather hard to believe. (I certainly ddin't do anything to
create a normal.dotx!) What kind of website was it?

What happens with Office Button > Open > Templates (top item on the
list at the left)?

Until I installed my first macro a few weeks ago, I had only a
normal.dotx. Installing the macro changed it to a .dotm.

Well then I have a very confused computer because there was no normal.dotm
there. I do know about the deleting rules and where to find normal. The
site where I found the "no normal.dotm" information seemed reputable but who
knows.

Thank for all your help anyway, but I have worked around it by installing my
old version and modifying it from there. Thanks.
