This has everything to do with permissions on your Normal.dot file (as set
by your PC or your IT department) and nothing to do with Word (unless, of
course, your Word is hosed, which is doubtful).

If you have Acrobat 7.0 installed, then Create Adobe PDF toolbar
add-in for Word prevents Word from automatically saving changes
to your Normal.dot template (which is where toolbar
customizations and the default font choice is stored). One
workaround is to customize your toolbars and default font, and
then click on "Shift+File | Save All" to force Word to save the
Normal.dot template. Another workaround is to prevent the PDF
toolbar add-in from loading, as described in the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm , but
you'll lose the PDF toolbar if you do this.

Another possible culprit is Acrobat 6 (full version, not the reader) which
blocks saves to normal.dot.

Thank you.
I do have Acrobat 7 Pro installed.
The "Shift+File | Save All" solved the problem.
Thanks.

Acrobat 6? I think you mean 7?
