Ever since I upgraded to Office 2008, Word always crashes when ever I try to
quit. I did a clean install and updated to 12.0.1. Entourage, Excel and
Powerpoint all seem to function properly.  Whenever I relaunch Word an alert
appears asking me if I want to reload the normal template ...

I am having trouble with a computer that gives me an error every time I close
Word 2008. The error says:
"A file error occurred. Check your network connections or make sure the disk
is properly inserted and not defective. (Normal.dotm)"

Microsoft has confirmed that a *possible* cause for Word 2008 crashing on
launch (or quit) is the presence of preference files from previous versions
of Word.  If you have this problem, try one of these workarounds:
1.  Quit out of all versions of Word and trash (or rename) all Word

This may be a stupid question, but I cannot find it for the life of me. I want to replace it with my own custom template.

While we are on it, would the custom template be called normal.dotx, or should I remove the extension as with the excel "Workbook" template?

Thanks.

I recently upgraded from Office 2004 for Teachers/students to 2008. Everytime I try to view the Drawing toolbar, the whole program hangs. I really need this toolbar!

I am using MS Word 2004.  Is there a way to assign a specific color to
a font?  I mean, for example, if you want to create an interesting
color that's not preset (i.e., red, blue, etc).  Let's say you want
50% of this color, 20% of this one, 10%, of this one, and 20% of this
