Graham,

What kind of personalizations are you referring to here? I haven't
written any macros that I know of,
but I do have some paragraph styles. Also, I do use Doc-2-Help, which
is loaded with them I expect.
However, in recent tests I've moved all the D2H .dot files out of the
STARTUP directories and it
didn't seem to help.

If you set the 'prompt before saving the normal template' option
(Word Options Advanced Save), you can choose what you allow to
be saved in the normal template. The normal template in Word 2007 is
quite small compared with it predecessors, and mine, despite the
presence of many macros, loads in 2.5 seconds. Not instantly I grant
you, but it does what it is supposed to do - store personalisations!
