    Location of normal

    Windows 10 Enterprise
    Microsoft Word 2016 MSO (16.07329.1047) 32-bit


    Hello
    Where do I put my old Normal file to make it work? Currently I put it in C:\Users\Jacc\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP but I must have done something wrong.
    It now opens two Normal as can be seen in the VBA editor. One only contains a test macro I recorded, the other most likely contain my old macros (and they work just fine) but I am not allowed to open in ???

    It goes in the ...\WORD\TEMPLATES sub-directory.

    I'm sorry, it's not obvious to me in what folder that location is and the explorer search function is not helping me.
    Should I create a Templates folder in the Word folder in my link above?

    My apologies, it goes in ...Microsoft\Templates

    You can find the setting in Word using Word Options | Advanced: File Locations.

    The default location for Word templates is:
    C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\
