YES back it up! It can become corrupt a lot easier now that so much is
dependent on it. So keep a backup copy OR TWO...then if you have
problems and have to create a new one, you can overwrite the generic one
with your custom one again to get back your customization and macros.
Otherwise, that stuff could all be lost.

Thanks to all you nice people who have been looking for my Normal.dot
file <g>

Here is where it is now and it works?  
Windows XP Home

Program files
Micro Office
Office10
Startup
Normal.dot  
Was  just brought over the net work from the old computer  it seems to
work??  Now it also didn't seem to build one like 2000 does each time so
maybe good idea to keep a backup  huh? I am totally confused but  I also
found that Adobe puts one there also so maybe I am right! Not sure about
this XP stuff yet I think maybe for the Expert users  maybe ?


Thanks to all 

Happy New Year

Gene


If you're on Windows XP or Win2k, the search/find tool is functionally
illiterate (broken). I'd suggest using the command line (CMD.EXE) and,
from the root of C:\, issue this command:

Dir normal.dot /s

If it's on C:\, you'll see which folder contains the file from that
command.

 Found it.  Thanks!  Funny that it didn't show up in a 
 search..  yes, my folder options are set to show hidden files.
