Hi Steven,
The steps below are for Word 2013 but, should work for Word 2010 as
well.:
Before creating a new Normal template you should first make a backup
of your
normal.dotm template.
1. Make sure you can see hidden folders and files on your PC. I will
asume
you know how to do that.
2. Close Word.
3. Go to C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \
Templates.
Arrow down to Normal.dotm and rename it to something like
OldNormal.dotm.
Note that if you simply delete this file, Word will automatically
create a
new Normal.dotm template when you open Word.
4. Open Word.
5. Start a new blank document however you do that.
6. Make any changes you want to anything. That includes page number
styles,
font, etc.
7. Unless you want it, delete any visible text you may have typed as
you set
up the things you want files to be based on.
8. Go to the File menu and choose Save As.
9. In the filename box, type, Normal.
10. Tab to the File Type combo box and arrow down until you hear the
file
type called Word Macro-Enabled template (*.dotm). That's what you want.
11. You can tab to the, Save button, & press enter or, just press, Alt
+ S,
then press, Alt + F4, to close the document & the new Normal.dotm
should be
saved wherever your default save to is located, which is usually the
Documents folder. Now find the newly created file & put it into the
Templates folder located here:
C: \ Users \ Username \ App data \ Roming \ Microsoft \ Templates.
You have now saved a new Normal template that will be used for every new
document.
Note that if you mess up or panic or want to revert to your old file,
just
go back into the Templates folder and rename your OldNormal.dotm back to
Normal.dotm. Or, just delete the Normal.dotm file you have and let Word
rebuild one from its default settings.
For those who want to know wen their templates get changed, you can also
have Word tell you when changes are made and it will ask you if you
want to
save changes to the template. That's typically if you create macros,
etc.
That setting is under the Save options
Take care.
Mike

Dear all,
Does anyone know how I can find and change the default template
location in
Microsoft Word 2010 with JAWS and shortcuts?
I have tried under file, options but can't seem to find it in there
anywhere.
