Hi Suzanne,

As I recall it usually turns out to be an add-in, and the add-in may confuse Word's conversion/application of add-ins routines.

For one person it was a Dymo labelwriter add-in that were in the Word startup folder

AddrFixr.dot and
Dymo Label Writer Add-in.dot

For another person it was uninstalling the 'PDF Complete' product and another uninstalling Adobe products.

The 'Word is finishing analyzing your document" doesn't appear to be in any of the files in the current version of either the PDF
Complete or Dymo Label Writer software add-ins. But, that text is part of the MS Office file WordCnvr.dll

The only KB article where it shows up is from having a version mismatch of the conversion files.

I keep having the tantalizing feeling that the answer to this was ultimately
found, but when I google it, I see the same results you're probably
referring to (many of them earlier posts of mine). Several readers had
mentioned various PDF-making add-ins (PDF Complete and PDFMaker.dot are
among those mentioned), and another got success when s/he totally disabled
Smart Tags. Another uninstalled Adobe Elements.

"Keep track of formatting" was probably a red herring, but one user did
write, "The message normally happens when I use 'Select All X Instance(s)'
in the 'Styles and Formatting' right-hand panel, but has happened on
occasion randomly. What happens is the above message will appear, and then
tables in the document have their style overwritten by an auto-generated
style." The last part suggests that "Automatically update document styles"
might be implicated.
