Hi

I've made up a template with macros and it is called MyTemplate.dot

I thought that it would be independant of Normal.dot and that I could change
the loading of my personal menu and commands etc without the two dot files
interfering with each other.

But when I change sth in MyTemplate.dot , then Normal.dot is changed as well
or visa versa

Have I got a wrong idea or have I done sth wrong?

Thanks

Dave Neve

The macros in one template do not change anything in another template unless
the code has been written to do so.
I expect that you inadvertently created a macro in MyTemplate that contains
code that affects the Normal template.

It will be necessary to examine the code in MyTEmplate to find out what is
causing the changes and, vice versa.

Somehow, I've turned on line numbering so that when I open a new document,
line numbering begins. I've opened normal.dot and it does not have line
numbering turned on.

How do I get this turned off? TIA

look at Files | Page Setup | Layout and click the Line Numbers button.
