You can, but I would not mess with Normal. I had an
experience several years and versions ago where a MS
Word developer (the nth and terminal stage of a
support request) said the product was not designed for
a large amount of customization. Besides that, it's
too easy for a template on a host machine to overwrite
any customizations you do to Normal.
I created a template for some folks last year and
created custom buttons for a toolbar, so they could
select styles from buttons and did not have to go
hunting. Consider the custom button approach.
