new pages not based on normal.dot

My new pages in Word aren't based on normal.dot. I've checked normal.dot and
the template contains the changes I've made (font, margins, macros). The
File Locations point to the normal.dot. However, every time I make a new
page, it does not get based on normal.dot. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check the shortcut you use to start Word to make sure it isn't pointing to a
different template. Also make sure that your New button is running the
default FileNewDefault command and not a macro that uses a different
template.

Suzanne,
Thanks for replying. I was able to check the Properties on the Shortcut.
That points to the application (which is in a different location than the
templates for some reason). But, I'm not sure how to check the New button.
Can you tell me?
Thanks.
Sharon

In Tools | Macro | Macros, make sure there is no macro named FileNewDefault
(other than in the Word Commands list).
