Word 2010 - can't save default font to normal.dotm. Can't even find it! 1

[PWD]

Good morning. This is probably a daft question but I can't get Word to save the font I want to set as default on my company laptop.

I've tried unsuccessfully to locate the normal.dotm. The properties of the shortcut (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office) show a Target of (greyed out) "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010".

I suspect that the laptop has been locked down somehow but I just find it annoying that I can't change the default font.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
D€$

You should see Normal.dotm there.

I forget about the variables all too often. Thanks, macropod for pointing that out.

Thanks for the replies, but would you believe it? They've taken away my laptop and I'm on a regular desktop PC. Phew!!

Many thanks,
