SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, the Normal.dot template file does not appear in the Word for Windows directory until you have made a change to the Normal template and saved it.

Note that in later versions of Word for Windows, a Normal.dot template file is created the first time you exit the program.

MORE INFORMATION
To force Word for Windows version 2.0 to create a Normal.dot file, follow the steps below:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose New, then choose the OK button.
 * 2) Type &quot;one&quot; (without the quotation marks), and select it.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, select Glossary. In the Glossary Name box, type &quot;one&quot; (without the quotation marks).
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Save All. Choose No when prompted to save document changes. Choose Yes when prompted to save the global glossary and command changes.

At this point, a physical Normal.dot file is created in the Word for Windows version 2.0 directory.
