I.e. those words appeared as the default file name in the save as dialogue box, but could be readily over-typed. I've trawled through the help files without getting a clue. Did that 'feature' get dropped? Or did I lose it, but don't know how? :rolleyes: I speculate that the loss of that feature occurred when I changed to Office 2000.:badpc:	Perry (4966)

Yes, I do use (and therefore have some awareness of) a "normal.dot" template. But, I took your advice, deleting all copies of normal.dot and went through the re-creation process of changing margins, point size and so on and your advice has worked. Many thanks. I can see that I'm going to have to think of some harder problems! ;)	Perry (4966)
