Yes, you CAN transfer the whole Normal.dot...but realize it will
overwrite any customization in the current normal.dot. So it depends
what you're doing. If you're attempting to pass say, your current/old
normal.dot to a new system of your own...then it's cool. But I wouldn't
suggest you doing this to someone else's system, since you could
overwrite their stuff and that could be a big problem.
Yes, it can be a pain now that WinXP buries all the user settings under
Documents and Settings for each user. The best way to figure out where
your normal.dot is located in ANY version of Word is to click
Tools/Options/File Locations. Click on the Template listing and click
Modify to view the full path...since it's usually long and shows up
truncated in the standard path window. But hitting Modify passes you to
another dialog that allows you to see the full path. That will be the
path where your current Normal.dot is found and where you should pass
the new one.
And yes, you can pass it via email or a network...but I'd suggest you
zip it to protect it from corruption when sending.
As for the MSO jpg link...cool that you've added it for Linda.

Re: Macros Transfer?
You can easily use the Tools/Macro/Macro/Organizer to pass them to a new
dot file...then take the dot file via a network or floppy to the new
system and copy them back, using the same method, to the other
Normal.dot file.
OR...you can pass them to a master dot (template) file and then put that
in the ../word/startup dir to make them accessible to Word in normal
use.
OR...you can export out the code module and then import it back into the
new version.
NO...you do NOT have to rewrite them...you have lots of choices. Just
depends what's best/easiest for your purposes.
Yell if you need further details about how to do any of this in detail.
