Reduntant question
I hate to ask this question again, but if you will please....tell me what
setting in Word XP Tools Options that I need to uncheck to keep Word from asking me if I want to save everything as I click out even if no changes have been made to save. Thank you, anyone! |

Thank you, anyone! Although there is an option "Prompt to save Normal template" in the Tools Options Save tab, that probably isn't what's causing the problem. More likely it's an add-in. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx for instructions. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Jay, I didn't see any add-ins. I just re-install MS Office xp from the
install disk. It's new. It wants to save everything, even if nothing is touched. |

Re-installing other than on a reformatted disc will retain all the previous
user settings including add-ins.

Thank you Jay and Graham. It was a clean wipe reformat. I started clean. Of
course I also use a USB Flash stick for backup. Could that have transferred an add-into Word somehow? |

Do the following diagnostic test. Start Word in Safe Mode and then close it.
From Start, Run (Winkey+R) type in winword /a and press enter. Word should open to a new blank document in Safe Mode: don't do anything other than close Word. Does it prompt you to save changes now? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "swampy" wrote in message ... Thank you Jay and Graham. It was a clean wipe reformat. I started clean.

Thank you, Terry! Worked like a charm. No more "would you like to save" or
whatever when I touched nothing. Best regards (from Tampa, Florida) |

Reduntant question
Yes, but this was a diagnostic test, you cannot continue using the /a
switch. It opens Word in Safe Mode which is its virgin install mode bypassing all add-ins, customisations, macros, printer drivers or anything else that may have been perpetrated since it was installed. You need to find the culprit that is causing the problem. See how to find add-ins at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...sInstalled.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx Terry "swampy" wrote in message ... Thank you, Terry!
