Iceman,

My experiece was this was only a problem when opening files on my desktop
(Office2002) that had been created on my laptop (Office2000). I suppose if
it is unchecked in the template then new files created would be unchecked.
You can run this macro to turn it off on all files in a directory:

Public Sub BatchToggleEmbedSmartTabs()

'Sets embeded SmartTag off in all files in a directory
Dim myFile As String
Dim PathToUse As String
Dim myDoc As Document
'Close any documents that may be open
If Documents.Count 0 Then
Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges
End If
'Get the folder containing the files
With Dialogs(wdDialogCopyFile)
If .Display 0 Then
PathToUse = .Directory
Else
MsgBox "Cancelled by User"
Exit Sub
End If
End With

If Left(PathToUse, 1) = Chr(34) Then
PathToUse = Mid(PathToUse, 2, Len(PathToUse) - 2)
End If

myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.*")

While myFile ""
'Open each file and toggle SmartTags
Set myDoc = Documents.Open(PathToUse & myFile)
With ActiveDocument
.EmbedSmartTags = False
End With
'Close the file, saving the changes.
myDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges
myFile = Dir$()
Wend

End Sub

I have the same problem. This solution does seem to fix it,
however--is there any way to have "Embed Smart Tags" unchecked as the
default? Otherwise you have to do this on every offending document.

Frank,

WRT the save changes prompt, this could be caused by
ToolsOptionsSaveEmbed SmartTags being checked in the offendeing
docuements.

Hello,

I'm using Word 2002 at work with WinXP and Word 2000 at home with
Win2KPro. Word 2002 has a very irritating feature which I haven't
so
far been able to get rid of via the usual help searches.

When I close a Word document, it always asks if I want to save my
changes, even when I haven't made any. Word 2000 doesn't do this.
Word 2002 also opens a blank document every time, as well as the
document I want.

How can I stop Word from asking me if I want to save non-existent
changes every time I close it?

Thanks in advance,
Frank
