non-DOC default format

macropod · #8 06-01-2020, 07:56 PM

Somewhere behind the scenes, Word uses a built-in specification for the page layout of plain text files, not those specified in Normal.dotm.
As the OP observed:

Quote:

These files do not open with the same template as the default Office template or the user-modified template, nor any of the other defined templates.

My code simply ensures Normal.dotm is attached, then applies that template's page layout. I missed the bit about margins, orientation and font size, which I've now rectified.
