Default Template

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to make word start a certain template everytime you open
it by default? Thanks in advance.

You can use a shortcut to the template on your desktop or in the Start menu
to start Word. That is the simplest way.

rename the template Normal.dot then replace the current Normal.dot with your
template

Control the things you can and Don't Worry about the things you can't
control.

Do _not_ do this! You will lose all the built-in AutoText in normal.dot and
will probably lose other functionality as well.

Normal.dot is not just another template, it is a part of the Word program.
For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
