Hmmm. I thought that I did that (copy My Template.dot and then rename it to Normal.doc) but maybe I just dreamt that I did...

>>PS Normal.dot is around somewhere, when you delete or rename it, Word will automatically recreate it next time Word is opened.<<

Yeah, I found where it was hiding. I'm thinking that I didn't really perform the Rename step. I'll give it a try.

Oh, and I found "Automatically update..." too.

Thank you for your help. I appreciate your reply.
