    Occasionally I get an error message window with the following text:

    "Microsoft Word
    Word automatically saved changes to the normal document template." (Then it asks if I want to save these changes.)

    The default is set to click on 'Yes' but I always click 'No' because I am not sure what would happen if I clicked yes. Should the default on this error message be set to 'No'? I'm just a little concerned that one day I may click 'Yes' by accident and don't know what would happen. :confused:

    Thanks much. :confused: Burnice

    When you open Word, it launches the default template called Normal.dot

    If needed, you can customize this file to include options you use on a regular basis to avoid having to add them each time...If you customize it and change your mind, you can delete it. It get recreated the next time you open Word...

    Thank You Steve

    Thanks, Steve, for your prompt response. I will stop worrying about accidentally clicking 'Yes' when that message comes up again. I learn something every day! :) Burnice

    You can also turn that prompt off. Open Word, go to Tools>Options>Save tab, uncheck "Prompt to save Normal template," click OK.
