Click the round Office button (the File menu) and click Word Options
in the bottom edge of the menu. Click the Save tab, and set the "Save files in this format" dropdown to "Word 97-2000 Document (*.doc)". -- 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.

This would indicate something outside Word is stopping normal.dotx from
being saved. Have you got the full Adobe Acrobat installed? -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Ron Boetger" wrote in message ...

Yes I do! Also - what you suggested works for a while or until I
reboot my machine. Then the default goes back to DOCX. Thanks Ron On Tue, 17 Oct 2006 22:14:32 +0100, wrote: This would indicate something outside Word is stopping normal.dotx from being saved. Have you got the full Adobe Acrobat installed? |

Get the updated macros from Adobe as they are inhibiting normal.dot from
saving changes, You can temporarily override the problem by using Shift+File and selecting SaveAll when closing Word. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Ron Boetger" wrote in message ...

I just started Acrobate and did a check for updates and it found none.
I went to the website and found 7.0.8 update BUT I already have that one. Can you direct me to the macro updates?

Are you sure you have the full Acrobat Writer and not just the free reader
then? It is the macros in the Writer that are causing the problems. If you go to the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, select Acrobat and choose Change, you should be able to remove the macro add-ins by clearing the check box. That will resolve the problem until you find the patch for this from Adobe. Terry "Ron Boetger" wrote in message ... I just started Acrobate and did a check for updates and it found none.

There has to be some other third party add in inhibiting saving of
normal.dotx. Go to Trust Centre, Add-ins and check the disable all Add-ins option. Will Word let you make the change to .doc now?
