I want to save an Entourage Email or NewsGroup message as a Microsoft Word
2001 document instead of a SimpleText document, using the Normal Template
stored in the Templates Folder in Office 2001 Folder. What do I have to
change to have this happen?

First save it as a SimpleText document. Then open that document in Word by
wither dragging it onto the Word icon or by File/Open in Word itself, and
then Save As/Microsoft Word Document.

Yes, that's what I do now, but I want the SimpleText document to change to
the Word Document containing the format that I have made for the Normal
Template. I now have to open the formatting palette and make the changes
that I want.

Well, a SimpleText document is plain text with no formatting. I'm in 2004 at
the moment, but I think that even back in 2001 a plain text document will
open in Word in Plain Text style and Courier font. In X and 2004 we just
have to select all and change the style to Normal in the Formatting Palette
by a single click.

In 2001, press cmd-A to select all, then either go to Format/Style, change
to Normal in the long list, or - much easier - keep the Formatting toolbar
always open (go to View/Toolbars/Formatting, if it isn't) and again just
lick Normal on the short Styles list there.
