It is €śMicrosoft Student with Encarta Reference Library 2008€ť that creates
the problem. This software installs several add-ins in normal.dot. It took me
1 day to figure it out, as I reinstalled vista and all programs one by one
trying to see which one causes word to stop saving normal.dot.
Now what? In Europe Encarta costs 3 times as much. Am I suppose to throw it
away or is there any place to report the problem and hope that somehow
Microsoft will solve it. It is not a guess! It is a certainty that Encarta
causes the problem.

Yours is the first
message I have seen reporting problems after this update.

Yes indeed I've read this in several forums, however, I have Acrobat
8.1.2 installed and I didn't have any problems till a I've downloaded
the updates of Microsoft today. The update today fixed a problem of
autocorrect in outlook, which was messed up after SP3 was installed,
but it seems that it created this problem now. I have not changed
anything to my computer other than installing the updates of
Microsoft.
thanks

being saved when I exit word 2003.
Any help?
