I have Word 2003 and Word 2007 on my Desktop and Laptop. Word 2003 will not
create a normal.dot template on my Desktop PC. If I attempt to make a default
change, I am warned about the effect on all documents base on Normal
Template. However, no changes ever become permanent. When I open Word again,
I'm back to the original settings. There is never a normal.dot file in the
Users subfolder (I have Vista Ultimate)
(My laptop is fine.) I've done the registry fixes (delete options, data) and
have uninstalled Word 2003, removed all registry entries and folders for
Office 11, then rebooted and reinstalled.
I don't have a clue as to why Word will not create a normal.dot. I've tried
a search for ~normal.dot while Word is running, with no success. If I change
the location for normal.dot, it still does not allow changes. I have no
problem with any other templates.
Word 2007 works fine. I'm stumped and would appreciate any ideas.
