normal.dot
my word from office2003 hang and I've to end it with task
manager, since then everytime I quit word "cahnges have been made that affect the global template normal.dot, do you want to save the changes" and I've tried the following. using word2003 support templates troubleshoot utility,delete data registry key,startup option key (both with registry editor too), rename normal.dot, delete COM- addins,remove macros,clear word and office startup folder,uninstall office and delete office11 folder,reinstall office,run WordFix from http://www.gmayor.com.,disable Norton a/v add in,scan with a/v,delete all temp folder and ~normal.dot with no avail. But if I start word with /a key, it would close properly. Experts are saying don't take out the battery from beeping smoke alarm, but because of the way MS built Word, even if I put in a new smoke detector it'll too keep on beeping once I put in the bettery by checking the "prompt to save normal template" on tool,options,save tab in word. So I don't want to burndown the house and build new by going after my whole C: drive. Any other solution? Feeling like chasing my own tail which I don't have. Thanks if any suggestions. |

Sorry for being so unclear, have you, since building the new normal.dot ever
answered "Yes" to that prompt?

Follow up on .COM Add-Ins...
"Klaus Linke" wrote in message ... Hi Jerry, Bob Buckland's FAQ article is a bit outdated. MS has created new sneaky ways for COM add-ins to not show up in the dialog. Check out the Help menu, "About Microsoft Office Word" "System info" "Office Applications" "Word" "COM Add-ins". I take bets you'll find something, and that it is guilty for dirtying Normal.dot.
