Hi

Just recently Word 2003 has stopped prompting me to save my documents when I
make changes to them. As you can imagine this can be a bit of problem.

How do I make Word prompt me to save any changes when I go to close a
document that I have made changes to?

First, do a complete virus scan of your system and your documents. The behavior
you describe sounds like one of the very first macro viruses...

Hi Cindy

Thanks for that tip. Unfortunately no virus found with Trend or Nortons. Any
other ideas.

Hi ?B?T1pXYW5kZXJlcjA1?=,

If you hold down CTRL when starting Word, to go into Safe Mode, does the problem
go away (for that session)? If it does, then we're probably looking at an Add-in
that's interfering (same principle as a virus, but not an "official" virus, might
be a tool you've installed, for example).

The next thing to test, if that doesn't yield any results, is starting Windows in
Safe Mode.
