Manage updates with the Download App
I have a new system, system 7. I have Office 2007. I can't find normal. I looked it up in help, which gives the instructions for Vista, but not for windows 7. It's default is for 1.5 line spacing, which doesn't work for labels. Also I don't like the default font. So far, I haven't found a place to modify normal.

Do you have Windows 7?
And Normal what? Do you mean "Normal.dot"? Under Word 2007 and later, Normal.dot is replaced by Normal.dotm so if that is what you are after you should be looking for that.
There's a good explanation of what it is, what the other Word file extensions are, and where to find Normal.dotm here;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-lOF0_lZ8 shows how to do it. It's not intuitive indeed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecsdI7SLHB8 shows another way to change the line spacing.
http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/1125571.htm tells exactly the same for the fonts.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921174 tells the same for the line spacing.
However, I liked those videos.
