That's not normal behaviour: Word should never discard changes you made to
the interface without asking you.
It should save them in the Normal template (or Registry), so Word looks the
same the next time you start it.

A likely cause for the buggy behaviour is the Adobe Acrobat 7 add-in:
There's a bugfix from Adobe available.
Another possibility in a company might be a write-protected Normal.dot, or
an administrator that replaces it each day.

To get more control of things, make sure "Tools > Options > Save > Prompt to
save Normal template" is checked.
That way, if you make changes in a session, you can decide whether you want
to keep them or not.

If you made changes and aren't asked if you want to keep them when you close
Word, you know something is wrong.
If you made no changes, and are asked, you know something is wrong, too
(such as a badly behaved add-in making changes).
