Toolbars & sharing/Copying normal.dot

[Rita King]

Using Word2002.
On a network I make changes to normal.dot and standard.dot (a startup
template - in the startup folder) and then copy these to the correct
locations on the various workstations. This has worked fine over the last 6
or so months. I now find that the changes are not being carried over at the
workstations. For instance I added a couple of icons to the standard toolbar
and then removed them and wound up putting them back. On the workstation I
performed these changes on (Win 2000 Pro) all appears correct. When I copy
the templates onto the workstation (Win 98) the icons are appearing twice
on the toolbar. This has not happened before - why it is happening now?
I have fiddled about for hours - please advise what I am doing wrong.

OK - I just looked again for the hundredth time and discovered that the
workstation had a second startup template in it that I had renamed but had
not removed the .dot extension - so it was duplicating my toolbar icons.

Sorry for the bother
