Let me shed some light on why I ask. I deleted Normal.dot but left my Internet connection up. I opened Word and saved a document with some text in it. I then searched for "Normal.dot" and that file was not found. I closed and opened Word numerous times but at no time could Normal.dot be found.
Then, I unplugged the network connection. Then, when I opened Word, saved a file, and searched for Normal.dot, Normal.dot could indeed be found because it had been created. This is a local installation of Word.

Not sure about the internet connection thing though (see (2) above) Rhonda Rhonda Bracey [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cybertext.com.au AuthorIT Certified Consultant -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brierley, Sean Sent: Thursday, 15 March 2007 4:16 AM To: TCP List Subject: [TCP] Normal dot Dot behaviour Does this sound right. 1) If Word 2003 can find Normal.dot locally, all is well. 2) If Word 2003 cannot find Normal.dot locally, because you deleted the file, then Word 2003 uses an Internet connection and uses resources at microsoft.com. 3) If Word 2003 cannot find Normal.dot locally, because you deleted the file, and Word 2003 cannot use an Internet connection, because you pulled the network connection, then Word 2003 re-creates Normal.dot locally and uses it. Anyone know any different or have thoughts about that?
