If you have multiple users on your computer, you may have more than one
version of normal.dot (one version for each user).

With Word 2003, you will probably find it at

C:\Documents and Settings\ [User Name] \Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

There are two ways of finding the precise location on your computer:

a) With Windows XP, click on Start, followed by Search. Type normal.dot
in the search box and search against all files. When the search has
finished, change the views option of the Search Results window to "Details".

or

b) Open Word. Click on Tools, followed by Options. Click on the "File
Locations" tab - and select "User Templates". Click on "Modify". This will
produce a window headed "Templates". Then click repeatedly on the "up one
level" arrow - which will disclose the full path.

Why not do a file search and let the system find it for you?
