Sorry, don't have a Home to click on, nor do I have a "Change Styles" anywhere that I know of in my application (Word 2000).
Yes, I want to open a new document with the Normal style, but I don't want to use the default Normal style, the one you get just after installing Word.
After thinking about my problem, I've concluded that whenever I create a new document by clicking the icon at the extreme left, that document opens with the default Normal.dot. If I create a new document by clicking File > New Document, a screen pops up wherein I can select which template to use.
So what I did was modify the default Normal.dot to contain the styles I wanted, then saved it with a new name, then closed Word 2000. Next, I used WinExplorer to delete the default Normal.dot, then rename the template I just created to Normal.dot, then move Normal.dot into the appropriate folder (c:/users/me/app data....).
Works for me, anyway...
