John: Nick? Nicolas Monserrat, novelist, THE CRUEL SEA?

I gather that none of us are getting it to default. Right? I just went back
to my word2001 and sure enough, once again, the default I had set hadn't
stuck.

Daiya's:
"...save Normal prompt, I tried Save All, didn't get a prompt, tried
making the change in Normal itself, could not get it to stick."
has nothing to do with the date and time default window, does it? You're
talking about 'templates' which is something I have yet to learn.

In addition to getting it to default, my ideal date and time setting isn't
on the list. It would be "2005-04-11 8:14 PM". Does Word1004 have that?

Not any more... You two have Jinxed it!!

I changed it this morning to answer the question, quit and restarted Word,
and it held. I have quit several times since. I went back to check for
this response, and now it's gone bad on me... It's YOUR fault!!

Sorry...
