Subject:Setting Defaults in MS Word 2000 From:Eisbruchs -at- aol -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 28 Jan 2003 14:34:59 -0500
Hi,
Is there's a way to
set defaults
for various drawing and formatting
options in MS Word 2000. For example, when
I draw a text box, I'd like the line
to be red by default. Or in
tables, I'd like the default to be
"don't allow rows to break across pages."
I seem to remember in a much earlier version
of MS Word there was a file called normal.dot that
I could adjust to specify the defaults I wanted.
But I can't find any info on this right now.
In MS Word 2000, does such a file still exist, or is there
some other mechanism I should know about?
Thanks,
Emily from Ann Arbor
