Hello,

I'm trying to edit the header so that all new documents are created with the
current date and time and with my name and iniitals. I figure I'm going to
have to edit the normal.dot file, but when I tried (by opening it, making a
change and saving it back as a template, the changes didn't take.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff

You really don't want to add a header to Normal.dot, anyway. Messes up
labels.

Create a separate template. Modifying normal.dot that way will screw up far
more than you think.
