Template used when creating a new document in office 2007 "jgt" <NotRealAddress[ at ]nowhere.com> 10/30/2008 8:56:15 AM On my WinXP Pro system I've made a few changes to my normal.dotm template and if I'm in word and click on the Office button and then New my changed normal.dotm file is used (this is what I expected). If I'm in windows explorer and I right-click, select New, then select "Microsoft Office Word Document" my customized Normal.dotm file is not used. How do I get the new file creation to use my customized normal.dotm file? -- jgt
