Modify Normal.dot to include Title Header and Filename & Page # Fo

[Kmccrary]

Do you know if there is a way to create a default template that includes the
Title in the Header and a Footer with the Filename & Path and Page X of X?
We are trying to make it mandatory to have users fill out the Header and
Footer information on their documents and I was hoping to find a way to do
this for all users.

Thanks,
Kim McCrary

Hello Kim

technically, yes: you can naturally change Normal.dot directly (locate
it in an Explorer and choose _Open_ from the right mouse button's
context menu).

OTOH (and IMHO), it's not a good habit to create documents (well,
documents that should conform to any, say, company based CI) off of
Normal.dot in the first place. You had better provide dedicated
templates for each type of document your users are supposed to create
and teach them to create the new documents based on those.
