[RESOLVED] Word .dot files
What ho one and all,
Although I am using an old version of Word (2000) I will guess the principal is the same.
I have a number of ***.dot files as personal stationary (A4 letters/envelopes/Invoice/ etc) all with my letterhead as a header and contact details, inc. e-mail address as a footer. I want to up-date the e-mail address but Word tells me that I cannot save the file with an already existing file name.
I don't want to give them all a new name, then delete the old files and rename the new ones. I have searched on Mr Google but cannot find a way to Cnt-S an amended dot file without renaming it.
Is there a method?
Thanks and toodle-pip

You should be able to save changes to .dot template files. Post a screen capture of the error message dialog box.

Open Word first. (Don't just double-click on the xxxxx.dot file to open it)
Go to File > Open... > xxxxx.dot
Make your edits
Then Save
If you just double-click on the xxxxx.dot file, Word assumes you are using it as a template for a new .doc file. That's why you need to open Word first, and then open xxxxx.dot.
If you double-click open, the title bar says "Document1" (or something like that). When you open Word first, the title bar says xxxxx.dot.
