You cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users in WordArticle ID: 811468 - View products that this article applies to. SUMMARYMicrosoft Word does not support the sharing of a single
Normal.dot file among multiple users. This is true whether or not the file is
marked as read-only. MORE INFORMATIONThe Normal.dot file stores user-specific settings and is not
designed to be shared among multiple users on a single computer or over a
network. Word accesses the Normal.dot file at various times and makes changes
to it based on the user's actions. As a result, Word must have full read and
write access to the file at all times. For items that must be shared on a single computer, create a global template and put it in the office startup template folder or in the workgroup template folder. 306911
