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.

You should NEVER take another template or document and save it as your normal template. Only Word can create a fully functional Normal Template.
The Normal Template should never contain text, even in a header or footer.
