You cannot turn it off, neither should you try. If the warning occurs on
*opening* a document, it implies that you have orphaned files lying about -

The cause of the problem in the first place may be from an errant add-in.
Norton AV's office plug-in and the Works add-in are the worst offenders, but
there are others.

Each time I open a new word document, I get a prompt " Changes will
be made to the global template". How can I turn off this prompt. I
do not want to make changes to the global template.
