Som regel skal der ved dagligt brug ikke ændres i Normal.dot. Derfor er
det en god idé at udnytte den sikerhedsventil, der ligger i
Funktioner/Indstillinger-Gem (spørg om Normal.dot skal gemmes). Mange,
og gentagne, problemer der har været fremme her i årets løb, ville blive
fanget af det enkle spørgsmål.

Men her er en oversigt over, hvor de forskellige OS'er og versioner
gemmer denne væsentlige fil.

Understanding the Template Path and Normal.dot

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

This article explains how Microsoft Word searches for its global
template
(Normal.dot). The Normal.dot template behaves differently from your
other
"custom" templates, and Word searches for it differently from the way it
does
in earlier versions of Word.

If the Normal.dot template is not located in one of the folders where
Word
expects to find it, Word does not "see" it and cannot use it. The first
Normal.dot template that Word finds, Word stops searching and uses it as
the
Word global template.

IMPORTANT: If you have multiple Normal.dot files on your system, Word
uses the
first one it finds in its search path, as explained in the "More
Information" section of this article.
