I modified my Word 2007 normal.dotm and the word.qat file on my desktop
Word. I want to copy those files to my laptop so it's the same as my
desktop settings. But those modifications do not appear on my laptop. The
laptop still has the default normal.dotm and the QAT bar doesn't change at
all. This is where I copied the files and placed the files on my laptop.
What am I doing wrong?
C:\documents and settings\my
username\AppData\Microsoft\Templates\normal.dotm
C:\documents and settings\my username\LocalSettings\Appl
Data\Microsoft\Office\word.qat
 
QATs belong in C:>Users>UserName>AppData>Local>Microsoft>Office
Normal.dotm belongs in C:>Users>UserName>AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Templates
 
Yes, those are Windows Vista locations. You mentioned AppData which is a
Vista Folder: the XP equivalent is Application Data.
