Normal.dot autorecovery
Is there a way to disable autorecovery saving for Normal.dot without
turning AutoRecovery all altogether? I make a change to Normal.dot perhaps once a week and don't need it autosaved every 10 minutes. |

What tells you that normal.dot is being autosaved every ten minutes? A message on the status bar. And Word freezes while it's happening. And sometimes I get a message telling me it's failed. |

No antivirus program - this is a problem!
I use AVG which does not seem to cause the problems that Norton does. Mine catches at least one virus- or worm-infected message a week. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
