If I start Word 2000, it opens a new document.  If I open a template for
edit, I have two word windows open.  If I try to save the template as
normal.dot, naturally it will complain, normal.dot is open in the other (new
document) window to provide the new document with template settings.  Close
all word windows except the one with the template open for edit.

When I try to save the changed normal file as a template, I get the error
message "Word cannot save a document with the same name as an open
document......
