Subject: MS Word Question
I have a question for you Word gurus out there. The file I'm working
with in Word will not let me save as anything but a .dot (Document
Template) file. I can't figure out a way to get it to let me save it as
a normal .doc file. Any ideas? The file started out with a .doc
extension, but I'm guessing that it was changed to that manually from
.dot at some point.
Thanks in advance,
Donna
