Hi everyone
We have a novell network at work, and I store all our word templates on
the file server at:
m:\templates\word
On each person's copy of word (6.0), I have the options set up so that
it points to that directory for the templates.
This works fine.
What I don't understand though, is how normal.dot works.   If I call up
a new document based on normal.dot on my machine, the options on the
toolbars are as I have set them up for me.  If I create a new document
on another persons machine, then the toolbars etc are set up their way.
But then the receptionist changed her settings on Thursday, and when the
computer operator went into her machine this-morning, she has the
settings that the receptionist made last Thursday and she doesn't want
them.
I thought the way it worked was that it should read the one file
(normal.dot) off the file server and everyone should be the same.  Why
are some people the same, and some people not?
Confused.
Lauren
