Virgin template?

[Bob Newman]

I am having trouble with the default formatiing for Word (2000). How do I
save as a template a "virgin" default. No tabs, no paragraph nubering, no
nothing.

Thanks in advance... Bob

How do I save as a template a "virgin" default.

Close Word.
Rename Normal.dot to something else.
Start Word.

Bingo - Word creates you a new, factory-standard Normal.dot.

HTH,
Phill W.

That's my problem. I DO NOT want factory standard.

If I type: 1. ABC (ENTER) I get the next line automatically starting with
"2. "

I do NOT want it to do this. I want a BLANK document with NO preset
conditions.

Thanks... Bob

Bob,

Difficult, since this particular "feature" isn't a template feature; it's
one of many /user-selectable/ options.

Have a rummage under Tools > AutoCorrect; "as-you-type" (i.e.
d*** annoying) [mis-]formatting options are hidden under there.

HTH,
Phill W.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

That did it.

Bob,

Are you sure? You seem to be getting "thank you" when you
hit the comma, now ;-)
