Suzanne, are you being coy? Suppose I wish to change the
default margins on all documents I open in Word? What do I
edit if I don't have a normal.dot? And besides, that is
not even the point. Every book and reference in the
universe says that Word will regen the normal.dot if you
delete it. Well, my Word does not. Do you have an
explanation or not?
