Normal Templates Differences

[Carl]

Using Word 2007, what is the difference between normal.dotx and normal.dotm

Any insight greatly appreciated.

There should not be a normal.dotx, only a normal.dotm. If you have a
normal.dotx, rename it as normal.bad.

I think you are really asking the difference between dotx templates and dotm
templates. The -x templates do not contain macros and the -m templates do.
Because the normal template must be able to hold macros, it must be normal.
dotm.
