Normal.dotm

When newly blank document crashes, it is possible the problem persists in normal.dotm. Try renaming the existing normal.dotm to oldnormal.dotm and reopen word to recreate a new normal.dotm.

The location for normal.dotm are as follows:

• Office 2008: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/Normal.dotm
• Word 2004: ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Normal
• Word X, Word 2001, Word 98: /Applications/Microsoft Office ***/Templates/Normal (where *** stands for your version of Office)

If by chance the normal.dotm location is changed, the normal.dotm can be located by opening Microsoft Office Word>Preferences>File Locations> dialog to confirm its location.

If the old normal.dotm is corrupt and there are customizations in old Normal that you don't want to lose – such as macros, AutoText, custom toolbars, and styles – you can transfer them from OldNormal to your new Normal using Organizer.

Two things you need to prepare in advance:

'Can I just copy the MS Word program from one computer to another with a USB drive? I tried, but the Office doesn't run on the destination computer as expected. Where did it go wrong?'

The short answer is an absolute NO. You cannot copy any program from one computer to another unless that program is portable. Microsoft Office certainly isn't. You can easily copy the MS Office setup files to your USB but that will not gonna help you to run the application on another computer.

MS Office will create hundreds of thousands of entries in Windows Registry, which you can hardly carry along while trying to copy the application. That's why you need help from the recommended Windows easy transfer software - EaseUS Todo PCTrans. It can copy and transfer Microsoft Office from one laptop to another in two ways: over network or image transfer. Here, since you prefer using a flash drive, we're going to teach you how to use EaseUS Todo PCTrans to transfer Microsoft Office, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint from one desktop/laptop to another with simply a USB flash drive.
