Re: normal template not working - curiouser

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I just restarted Word. I opened the 'normal' document from the template
folder. It came up in 'normal' view. I changed view to 'online layout',
I typed the word 'test', saved, quit.
Then I re-launched Word. A new default document opened with the word
'test' already typed, but in 'normal' view.
So it looks like I've got the correct deafult document, it's just not
saving view or zoom settings.
Is there an update that fixes this?

thanks, dg

From what I can gather from previous posts on the subject, there's a
problem with my normal template.

Opening a new document usually comes up in 'Normal' view.

I say usually because that's not always the case. It seems to be
random.

Anyway, I prefer to work in 'Online Layout' view, at 140% zoom.

I've opened the Normal file that's located: Applications/Microsoft
Office X/Templates/Normal and that opens in the settings that I like.
(Interestingly it shows last modified 10/2/06, although I must have
opened at least one hundred new documents since then).

How do I get it so that I can always open a new doc with my favoured
view and zoom?
