= 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.
