Hi

Every time I shut a doc, I am asked if I want to accept a modification to
normal.dot.

I know this system and how to activate/desactivate it but the problem is
that it happens every time even when I haven't modified the tool bar.

I can open the same doc, accept the modifications and then close it.

One second later, I've opened the same doc and when I close it a second
after, I get the same request.

The only modification I have noted recently was the adding of 'creative
commons' in a toolbar menu when I added a small XP program for attributing a
copyright to a document.

It seems to have 'blocked' sth.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks
 
Try searching for all instances of Normal.doc and deleting them.

The correct file isn't "Normal.doc"; it's "normal.dot". *.dot files are Word
templates.

The OP should post this question in a newsgroup for Word since the issue is
with the application, not his operating system. The Word experts will be
able to help him.

Hi
Thanks everyone.

I did find an article about this afterwards but whether it is caused my a
macro or a .dll, the end suggestion is always to 'get rid of it'.

But the offending macro or whatever it uses is probably 'Common Creative' so
I'll wait patiently for a patch.

Thanks anyway
