My firm is working with Word 2007. Previously we used Word 2000 and in that
we used to base a document we received from other sources on our own
Normal.dot which we got by going to Themes, Style Gallery and selecting
Normal. How can this be done in Word 2007. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
 
There is a Themes section at the left hand end of the Page Layout tab. It
is only enabled however for a document that was created in Word 2007.

Maybe what you want can be accomplished by attaching your normal.dotm
template to the documents via the Document Template item on the Developer
tab of the Ribbon. If the Developer tab is not shown, click on the Pizza
button, then click on Word Options button on the bottom border of the dialog
and then in the Popular section of the Word Options dialog. check the box
against "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon"

Hope this helps.

Hi Adri,

Word 2007 has a number of enhancements and changes to styles, but you can choose to still use the old 'Style Gallery' method by
adding the gallery command to the Quick Access Toolbar from
Office Button=>Word Options=>Customize (Alt, F, I, C), selecting all commands and adding 'Style Gallery'. That should 'switch
out' the Style Gallery list on the Home Ribbon to those from that template.
