Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
Hi there,
Since being upgraded, every time I quit Word, I am prompted to save changes to normal.dotx but I have not made any changes other than typing. In Word options under Advanced | Save | I do NOT have the check box on to prompt for changes. Any ideas? Thanks |

Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
There are a few issues here
1. The normal template for Word 2007 is normal.dotM 2. You should have the check box checked in Word Options to prompt for changes, otherwise it will make changes without your permission and that is not advisable. 3. Are you using normal.dotX as a document template? 4. I seem to recall that the prompt occurs normally after daylight saving changes are made automatically to the PC - which occurred recently. That being the case accept the prompt and save the changes.

Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
Sorry to revert to this point, but it really is the case that until
you've put a macro into your normal template, it's normal.dotx. On Apr 12, 12:52*am, "Graham Mayor" wrote: There are a few issues here 1. The normal template for Word 2007 is normal.dotM 2.

Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
I have a relatively new and virtually unused laptop on which Office 2007 is
installed. Word hasn't been used at all. No other version of Office is on the laptop. I just opened Word and looked at View | Macros | View Macros. There are NO macros at all. But if I click the dropdown for "Macros in," the listing is for "Normal.dotm." If I search for "Normal.dotm," it is found at C://Users/Suzanne/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Templates, as expected. If I search for Normal.dotx, it is not found. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
Then why did I have a normal.dotx for my first few months of Word2007?
Why is Mustang being prompted to save changes to normal.dotx? Why does the term "normal.dotx" even exist?

Prompt to save changes to Normal.dotx
Hi all,
Thanks for you input but I am still none the wiser. Assumed didnt need a ..dotm file type if my normal didnt contain macros. Will try turning on the check box and saying yes to the message and see what happens. If anyone gets any further info on why it has to be dotm, can you post it up here. Many thanks "Peter T.
