Thank you. I forgot to mention that nothing shows in the undo list. I can
open the file, do nothing at all and the "Do you want to save the changes?"
message appears. This does not happen with every file opened.

Norton internet security, correctly installed and fully updated.

Do you have any Anti-Virus software installed?

1. An interesting one: On opening some documents (which appear as text,
nothing fancy at all) and trying to exit without any changes attempted at
all, it asks "Do you want to save the changes". Tried documents on
another
PC and they behave normally. An increasing number of existing documents
(i.e. some that were previously OK) are exhibiting this characteristic.

2. Also, when exiting Word, by clicking on X with (unmodified as above)
document open, Word does not always close but the Microsoft Word blue bar
at
the very top of the screen flashes and Word fails to close down normally.

I looked at NORMAL.DOT and for the user it is over 200kb, with no fancy
default settings saved. I loaded a smaller (44kb) NORMAL.DOT but if you
answer yes to saving an unmodifed document, it goes up in size.

Thank you.
