Normal.dotx: Global Word Template
By registry key it is possible to define a SharedTemplates directory, which Word uses to search its Normal.dotx file.
For detailed information, take a look at http://www.wordarticles.com/Articles/Templates/Normal.php
Lets assume, to set it to c:\templates:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General] "SharedTemplates" = REG_EXPAND_SZ:"c:\templates"
It is also required to set Beginning with MS Office 2010, starting Word results in migrating the Normal.dotx and renaming the original file. To prevent this, following registy key must be set:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options] "MigrateNormalOnFirstBoot"=REG_dword:00000001
Word will use c:\templates\normal.dotx if
- SharedTemplates is defined in the registry
- there is no file
%AppdataDir%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotx
If Word modifies Normal.dotx, it will overwrite c:\templates\normal.dotx.
If this file/directory is write protected (which is a good idea for a global template), Word will ask for an alternate location to store this file.
If the user chooses a file name different to %AppdataDir%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotx, this new Normal.dotx habe limited influence.
To archive the assumed behavior, the user has to select the path %AppdataDir%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotx. At the next start of Word, this modified Normal.dotx is taken as default.
