Dont want to save document templates
When I use a template and when saving the document, Word asks if I want to
save the template as well. How do I stop this? (Save template automatically is not ticked.) |

Dont want to save document templates
Not really sure what you're asking. If you've made changes to a template,
there are two option generally speaking: save the changes or not. If you want the changes to apply to new documents and to documents that have "Automatically update document styles" enabled, then you need to save the changes. I guess the question I would ask is if you don't want the changes saved, then why are you changing the template in the first place? Or, are you really just saying that you want Word to save the changes to the template but not bug you about it? If this is the case, you can turn off the prompt and changes to Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm if you're using Word 2007) will be saved automatically. I don't generally like this option because I want to know when/if something is trying to change Normal.dot(m), but I can appreciate that in some enviroments, asking the user this question constantly can create information overload. Another issue to consider is that that some add-ons trigger the "has it changed?" setting each time Word is opened, making Word think something significant has changed, when it hasn't really. Some of the older versions of Adobe Acrobat suffered from this annoying trait. In any case, I don't know of a built-in way to automatically discard changes to the template. But, if you simply want to turn off the prompt, in Word 2003, look in Tools - Options - Save, and remove the check next to Prompt to save Normal template. This won't help with all templates, but could provide some relief. (In Word 2007, click Office button - Word Options - Advanced tab - Save section. I don't know of a "Save template automatically" setting... so I'm not sure what you might be talking about. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "sinto" wrote in message ...

Dont want to save document templates
Windows XP Pro, Office XP Pro: No changes is made to the template. I use
templates placed on a SBS-server. I am not an "admin". 10 more persons are using the same templates and they are not asked the question if they want to save the template or not. "Save normal.dot" option is turned off. /sinto "Herb Tyson [MVP]" skrev: Not really sure what you're asking.

Dont want to save document templates
There are a number of add-ins that can make Word think that the underlying
template has changed -- Adobe Acrobat's add-ins have been notorious for that behavior in the past. I would try removing add-ins to see if one in particular is causing the "changed" flag to be set. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "sinto" wrote in message ...
