1.MS Word's "Normal.dot" Template in Windows XP?

I've just installed MS Office 2000 on a new HP notebook that runs Windows XP
SP 2. I want to transfer the Normal.dot file, which contains personalized
macros, keyboard shortcuts, and the like, from my old, Windows Me desktop to
the new notebook.

I performed a search for "Normal.dot" on the notebook, hoping to discover in
what folder Normal.dot resides on that machine, but no such folder was
found. Does someone know where it belongs?

Thanks in advance.

2.Word normal.dot template size

The normal.dot template continues to grow - exceeding 6MB.  I can delete or 
rename normal.dot and allow Word 2003 to create a new normal.dot; however 
over the course of a week or so, the normal.dot file will grow to over 6MB.

4.Word normal.dot template

I cannot edit/save defaults for my normal.dot template, as in font,
margins, or add autotext.  I have uninstalled the entire MS Office
Prof. 2003 (corporate licensed) and cleaned out all the temp files. I
use Windows XP platform.  This issue became apparent on a start up
recently and had not occured before. Still happening upon
reinstallation.  Also, I cannot view Word document content within
another program we use which is a collaborative tool for developing and
sharing information. It is a browser-based environment where users can
post documents, exchange ideas, and do other shared work. I can see all
other MS programs (Excel, Project, etc) within this application, but no
content in a Word document.

5.normal.dot automatically renamed to normal.dot.old in word 2002

Hi There,

I've written a script to automatically update normal.dot to a standard 
template to all user profiles. It does this by copying from a network source 
the normal.dot we want to use to the following directories:

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\

and

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\

The file is successfully copied there. However when logged in as the account 
I run the script from (a domain account with local administrator privilges) 
as soon as I start Microsoft Word the normal.dot I copied is renamed to 
normal.dot.old and a default normal.dot is created. I searched the C:\ drive 
including all hidden folders and can't find one the same, so it seems to have 
been auto created.

I delete the normal.dot file created, and rename normal.dot.old to 
normal.dot, and word opens, this time doesn't change the file, and we have 
the template we want.

IF i log off and log on as a local administrator or different user account I 
don't have this problem. (usually...although sometimes it still happens on 
certain domain user accounts)
 
IF run this as local administrator the same thing happen, this time the 
domain account with local admin works without require rename.

Can anyone please advise how to stop this happening?

I have all office applications closed when running this script.

I have searched Microsoft KEDB and google and there seems to that renaming 
to .old is recommended if .dot file is corrupt, however in this case the .dot 
file is not corrupt because as soon as renaming it back to .dot it works...

If you need any more info about what's going on please let me know!!!

Thanks...
