When I search for 'normal.dotm,' dozens and dozens of files display - all types and names. When I search for it by going to C: Program Files (x86) Microsoft Office Templates (my best recollection of where it's housed), it isn't there. Applies to: Office 2011, Office 2011 Home and Business Edition, Word 2011, Excel 2011, PowerPoint 2011, Outlook 2011, Office for Mac Standard 2011 Edition, Microsoft Office for Mac Home & Student 2011, and Microsoft Office for Mac Academic 2011.

This automatically sets the autocheck to english when a document is opened. Sub AutoOpen() ‘ ‘ AutoOpen Macro ‘ ‘ Dim doc As Word.Document Set doc = ActiveDocument Application.ResetIgnoreAll ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False ActiveDocument.GrammarChecked = False doc.Range.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS doc.Range.NoProofing = False End Sub. Who is behind Guide2Office? My name is Stephanie Krishnan and I'm passionate about the way that open source software and its community can help small businesses and individuals with their productivity and lives. One of the biggest arguments I get from business owners, however, is lack of support options. I decided to put together my own support blog to help people be productive at various levels with various Office software, including OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, MS Office and Apple products!

Then quit Word. Then rename or delete the existing Normal.dotm file. Merge contacts on phione to outlook for mac. The next time Word opens, it creates a new Normal.dotm file based on default settings. You can overwrite the Normal.dotm template to use as Word’s default for new documents. Before starting the procedure, make a copy of the existing Normal.dotm file.

• On the File menu, click Save As. • On the Format pop-up menu, click PowerPoint Template (.potx). • In the Save As box, type the name that you want to use for the new template, and then click Save. Unless you select a different location, the template is saved in /Users/ username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates.

So that's good. BUT when it comes to saving the templates, Powerpoint defaults to that silly sandbox. Windows iso to usb boot. Ah, I was just looking at the screenshot from the previous poster who said he was using Office 2016, so that led me to think it's probably related to the operating system. In fact, I think the sandboxing thing is a Yosemite requirement. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you can at least get the Word location to change the PPT location. That's similar to how it used to work on the PC -- you'd change the file save location in Word and it would apply to PPT and Excel also. But where do you see that reflected in PowerPoint?

From today’s mail bag: I’m running Snow Leopard and recently installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac. I had been using Office 2004 and was used to finding my customized templates stored in the Applications folder. I have more than one Mac and have an occasional need to copy templates from one machine to another. Where does Office 2011 store the templates that I create?

Right now however, to completely remove Office 2011, this is your best, albeit annoying, course of action. Have anything you’d like to add such as a question or comment? Please use our discussion forum to leave your feedback.

Interestingly, when I just “double click” on the “Book.xltx” file in Finder, it opens with the correct formatting. Something tells me Excel is opening another template file from a different location. I figured out a way to make it work, but I’m still disappointed that 1) my old template is gone (on my wife’s computer the same problem), and 2) that the old method of just having the template file in the templates folder would open the file. I created a folder for the template and then set Excel to “At startup, open all files in:” that folder. In Excel, go to Preferences, under Authoring, click General, for the “At startup, open all files in:” location click “Select” and go to the folder you created.

When you install Office and you input your license info, it creates a file. Open “Computer” from the Go menu (you can use “Shift + Command + C”), double-click to open your system drive (it might be “Macintosh HD” unless you’ve renamed it), then open “Library -> Preferences” and drag “ com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist” to the Trash. Microsoft recommends you restart your computer at this point to remove any files that are cached in memory. This will be necessary before you can purge everything in the Trash.
