Word 2003 won't prompt for save on exit
When I exit a Word 2003 document I am no longer asked if I want to save
changes. How can I correct this? |

Word 2003 won't prompt for save on exit
This was probably the result of a recent Windows update. I can't remember
the number of the particular update, but I believe it has been corrected, so try updating Windows again. Maybe someone else will pop up with the correct patch number so you can uninstall it? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rick Liebert wrote: When I exit a Word 2003 document I am no longer asked if I want to save changes.

Word 2003 won't prompt for save on exit
Thank you for your comment Graham. I'll investigate the updates.
The odd thing is if I log in as a different user the problem goes away which points to my user profile (the normal.dot file or a registry setting). I have tried to delete my existing normal.dot file but for some reason it keeps restoring itself. I have also tried copying the normal.dot file from the "good" users profile, but cannot get it to work. I'm still stumped!

The problem was in the startup file. I use GOLDMINE software. It's GMLINK.DOT
macro was causing the issue. I used the Microsoft troubleshooting macro to methodically try different solutions until I solved the issue. "Rick Liebert" wrote: When I exit a Word 2003 document I am no longer asked if I want to save changes. How can I correct this? |
