Re: How to prevent changes to normal.dotm

No! No! No! You cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users in
Word http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468/ Although written for earlier
versions, the same applies for Word 2007.

The normal template is a personal user setting. If you want to supply macros
and layouts do so with document and/or add-in templates.

new macro's and so on).

I set the same template folder for all users and they all use the same
Normal.dotm, but when someone accidently make a change (or the dymo
labelwriter makes it every time), when leaving Word he is prompted to
save normal.dotm which I don't want him to do and is also not
possible, while other users are using te same file (this gives many
unwanted messages). Also when the user is the only user he changes te
standard.

I tried making normal.dotm read only but this doesn't work (error
messages).

Does anyone know a solution?

Many thanks
Peter
