What is a "Normal.dot"?

Open Microsoft Word. Notice the toolbars, zoom level, page view, and other settings. These are all (for the most part) saved in a special document template called "Normal.dot". One of the things that makes Normal.dot different from other document templates (other than that is the default template) is that it contains the toolbars. If you want someone's custom toolbar, you need that person's Normal.dot. My Normal.dot contains a toolbar and keyboard shortcuts for many math symbols.

Some features of my Normal.dot

• The Math Symbols toolbar
• Various additional keyboard shortcuts
• Various key combinations that generate certain symbols in the document editor, many of which are the same as MathType's shortcuts but do not require MathType
