I know i can merge it with the normal.dot in the microsoft startup folder but some people have customized .dots and i don't want to overwrite them. I have tried renaming the .bac to a .dot but i keep getting a message telling me that it's not a valid template. Any ideas? This post has been edited by Damage: 24 Jun, 2009 - 01:04 PM

So, if you push your snippet out in Normal.dot, users should still be able to use a custom template on top of that. Does the DMS you're using interface with Word through Normal.dot? If it does, put your snippet there and you should be golden.
