"Prompt to save Normal template" seems broken in 2007
In Word 2003, when I have "Prompt to save Normal template" checked, it only
asks me if I want to save the Normal template if I've changed something in the way Word functions, such as a keyboard shortcut or style. 2007 asks every single time, regardless -- for example, I open a document and read it without changing ANYthing, close it and close Word, it asks me whether I want to save the Normal template. This is pretty annoying, especially if one has the preview enabled in Vista's Windows Explorer (if you're previewing a Word document, when you close Windows Explorer, Word asks if you want to save the Normal template -- argh!) Is there any way to make 2007 ask me only if I've changed something in the Normal template(as in the good ol days of 2003)? |

"Prompt to save Normal template" seems broken in 2007
Word 2007 is no more prone to prompt for saves to the Normal template than
2003 was -- but in both versions that constant request is usually a sign that some macro or add-in is messing with the template. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Interesting, but none of the things listed there applies to me -- nor can I
see how they could conceivably apply to a Word doc viewed in the preview pane of Windows Explorer (while Word itself is not open)....

Sooooooo, from the echoing silence, I infer this is just broken and there's
no fix. How boring of M$ to break something so simple in the process of "upgrading" a product that worked pretty much ok....
