The alternative is not to prompt, which simply makes the change and that is
definitely not a good plan. The problem with prompts can occur when there
are orphan temporary files. It can also occur when there is a poorly written
add-in loading with Word (Some versions of Acrobat were especially
problematical - but there are others). And I do hope you are not trying to
share normal.dot? You cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users
in Word

I have the same problem with template prompts, but in my case it
prompts for saving tamplate even if I NEVER made any changes to to
the document. Is there a setting to never prompt for template saving,
especially since the orginal template came from a read only network
share, in which we don't want people saving changes?

If you make a change in the document that will be reflected as a

the warning.
However there may be a problem - see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then next
time you quit word and get the prompt agree to it. Does that stop it?

I have templates in Word and now when I am typing the document and
saving it every time I do save as I get the prompt "do you want to
update template as well". Does anyone know how I can get rid of
this prompt?
