Hi Steven, Try the following: When creating a new Normal template you should first make a backup of your normal.dotm template. These steps are for Word 2013 but , they should work for 2010 as well.there are some steps to follow
1. Make sure you can see hidden folders and files on your PC. I will asume you know how to do that. 2. Close Word. 3. Go to C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ Templates. Arrow down to Normal.dotm and rename it to something like OldNormal.dotm. Note that if you simply delete this file, Word will automatically create a new Normal.dotm template when you open Word. 4. Open Word. 5. Start a new blank document however you do that. 6. Make any changes you want to anything. That includes page number styles, font, etc. 7. Unless you want it, delete any visible text you may have typed as you set up the things you want files to be based on. 8. Go to the File menu and choose Save As. 9. Not sure what you'll see, but you may only see a list of folders to choose from, etc. Ignore that and tab to the Browse button. Press enter. 10. Tab to the File Type combo box and arrow down until you hear the file type called Word Macro-Enabled template (*.dotm). That's what you want. 11. In the filename box, type Normal and press enter. 12. You have now saved a new Normal template that will be used for every new document. Note that if you mess up or panic or want to revert to your old file, just go back into the Templates folder and rename your OldNormal.dotm back to Normal.dotm. Or, just delete the Normal.dotm file you have and let Word rebuild one from its default settings. For those who want to know wen their templates get changed, you can also have Word tell you when changes are made and it will ask you if you want to save changes to the template. That's typically if you create macros, etc. That setting is under the Save options Take care.
