How to set a default footer that automatically comes up on new do.

[Rookie]

I would like to set up a default footer that will be automaticallyt applied
to any new Word doc that I create. I can't seem to figure out how to change
the default doc.

You can get instructions for modifying Normal.dot at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm, but I
strongly urge you not to put a footer (or header) of any kind in Normal.dot,
as this will mess up labels. Instead, create a document template (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm) and put
your footer there, then base new documents on that template.
