Hi Brooke,

Have you changed the user template path (Tools > Options > File Locations
tab)?

Cheers!

Not an expert, but;

Word didn't happen to go "Boom" (or even get "strange") in that 15
minutes, did it?

I'm thinking that if there was a problem then Word may have re-created
Normal.Dot.

There are a number of reasons for this (which I cannot list!) but it's
the main reason for not storing Macro's in your Normal template (I
learned the hard way!).

Hope I'm wrong about your situation.

Hi Jane,

In any template you care to create and store in the start-up folder (Tools >
Options > File Locations tab).
