97 Templates in an XP World

[RJB]

Hey, I am still using Office 97. I don't know why, but I LIKE the feel of it
better than Office XP. (I keep buying the upgrades, and uninstalling them.)

But, here's a unique thing:

In WinXP, my wife and I use different sign-ons. Is there a way to tweak Word
so we use different "Normal" templates?

(Her display settings are bigger than mine, and I'd like to set her Word to
have a view of 150%, and keep mine at 100%).

Thanks!

(And don't tell me to upgrade!)

If you're using separate profiles, you *should* have separate Normal.dot
files. In Word 2000 and above, Normal.dot is stored in the user profile; the
default file
location for user templates (including Normal.dot) is C:\Documents and
Settings\<profile name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. I should think
you could use the same setup for Word 97.
