Office XP - prompts to save reviewed document(s)

Hello all!

I'm using Windows XP pro and Office XP pro.

Some documents that I have created, when opened and reviewed but not altered, the program prompts to SAVE or NOT SAVE when the document is closed. If I remove the formating of the document and do that job again, afterwards the document behaves in an orderly fashion (no prompt to SAVE or NOT SAVE an unaltered document).

Does someone know what happens when the formating goes ballistic?

Thanks for Your time,
Christer

 

Newt,
it happens not once but "indefinitely" and that's why it's a pain in the lower region of my abdomen.

I have documents created in Word 2000 which used a font named "Britannic Bold" (or something like that). That font is not available in Word XP and I thought that was the problem. I changed the font to Times New Roman but the problem persisted. When I removed all formating and saved, the problem was gone. It occasionally happens with documents created in Word XP.

I will try the normal.dot thing and see what happens. It will be difficult to tell since it can go months between the occasions. The last time, it was one out of four documents created during the same session.

jaylach,
for me, it has never happened in Excel but You statement indicates that I'm tracking down a gremlin.
