questions about DOT

[FlashMerlot]

Word XP - Can I create a custom DOT that loads automatically every time I
open Word, but does NOT alter NORMAL.DOT?

Hi

Yes. File > New. Choose "General templates". Click the "Template" radio
button and OK to create the new file.

Save it in the Word Startup folder. That is the folder displayed at
Tools > Options > File Locations > Startup.
