Open Word, New document, select File Open. How do I make a default Normal, or how can I get Page Numbers to open as the default? I can make a new Page Numbers doc but I’ll have to select it to use it. When I open the Normal.dotm file, it appears as Document 1, so I can’t actually change Normal.dotm.

Is there a way to make this the default so I don’t have to manually select it every time? I have tried this: See the Word help topic ” Template locations in Word” for more information, which says to edit the Normal template and add them there: they will then appear in every new document I create. I always want page numbers, but I always need to select it from the Insert menu.
