Hi Neva,

Can you say more about where these two commands are? Not yet in Word 2004.

Re changing your default template....

You can customize Normal, if you want, to some extent. Or I would suggest
recording a macro of you selecting your template in File | Project Gallery
to create a new doc from. Then you can put a toolbar icon for that macro up,
or even remap cmd-N to call that macro instead of File | New Blank Doc.

Post back if you have no clue how to create a macro and assign it to icons
or shortcuts, and Help doesn't help.
