MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2007What happens when creating new Word-Document via Explorer (Word 2007!)
I would like to create a new Word-2007-Document direct via Explorer in the following way. 1. Right click at the desktop 2. New Microsoft Word Dokument --> the system creates a new Word Dokument on the desktop (size is 0 Bytes!) 3. Open the new Document in Word. This works fine. -------------------------------------------------------------- The question now ist, which template was copied in this case. -------------------------------------------------------------- It is NOT the normal.dotx File! And there is no file in the Windows\Shellnew-Folder for Word 2007 (in word 2003 there was a file in this folder, which was copied!) Does anybody know, what happens in this case? How can I control a blank document, which was created in this way? It would be great, if there is a way to get the system to make a copy based on normal.dotx, when creating a new document in this way. Thanks for help. Regards Karl Zuern. I am curious, Karl. Why are you so sure that it is NOT normal.dot? **************************** Hope it helps!

Make a new file via Word NEW - Blank File --> You WILL get a copy of normal.dotm 4. Now make a new File via context-menu of the explorer --> You WILL see thats it is NOT a copy of normal.dotm So I think, there must be another mechanism in use whren generating the new file with the explorer. I would like to make sure, that a user gets exactly the same result, independant of the way that she/he generates the new file. Regards Karl. >I am curious, Karl.

I'm anxious to see what someone running Word 2007 says. :) **************************** Hope it helps!

I'm not running Word 2007, so I'm guessing here, but--I notice that your first post referred to normal.dotx, and this post referred to normal.dotm. This article on Word 2007 templates says: http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_office_word/archive/2007/02/27/timesaving-templa tes.aspx > Each of the template extensions provides information about the type of > template: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > In general, I recommend using the DOTX format for your templates > because it doesn't include macros and is fully compatible with Word 2007 I wonder if the right-click could be using dotx, but you are using dotm? Failing that, perhaps that post will give you useful information about achieving your ultimate goal. PS. Hi Anne! :) > Hi Anne, > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] >>> Regards >>> Karl Zuern. Yo, Daiya! If you were in Seattle, then I am sooooooo sorry that I missed you! I only had one day there, really (Tuesday), and I hung mostly with the Excel MVPs. **************************** Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com **************************** > I'm not running Word 2007, so I'm guessing here, but--I notice that your > first post referred to normal.dotx, and this post referred to normal.dotm.
