Yes. The idea is that a staff member can try out my new template – I want it to do more than just change the font and margins – then if they don’t like it or feel they don’t need my “improvements” they can just delete it from the Startup folder and they’re back where they were using any changes they may have made to Normal.dot. It may be that what I am asking is just too much for Word to handle, so I may have to revert to modifying Normal.dot, maybe backing it up first, but I do feel this should be possible.

Thanks for that. Given the info re the wdKey values, I think I’ll re-write the template based on your suggestion so that it should always work!

I should of said that I am using a UK English keyboard. The # (hash) key on it is next to the Enter key – shifted it gives a ~ (tilde). As far as I can remember wdKey# existed in Word 97 and maybe whatever came next. It must of worked once ’cause I’ve used it!

Hummm! When I pasted three pages around one of these Section Breaks into a new document, the problem disappears. In the original there is about 1cm gap between the bottom of the Footnote and the Footer margin. I’ve just copy/pasted the whole document to a new doc. Problem solved. Don’t cha’ just love Word!

P.S. Granny’s drunk again!

….. I should have added that I need the name of the font and point size returned to use in a macro.
