"changes to the global template" in Word
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. |

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 - checkout http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm. 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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Topsed wrote: Each time I open a new word document, I get a prompt " Changes will be made to the global template".

Thanks Graham,
The info on your website appears to be helpful. We do have a few add-in word templates that we loaded for some specific documents. I will try to search and remove all orphaned files and hope it works. I will be back here only if doesn't. "Graham Mayor" wrote: You cannot turn it off, neither should you try.
