Normal Template Prompt

[Ross Payne]

I use Office 2003 (which, apparently, by default makes Word the email
editor). Every time I exit Outlook, I'm prompted to save Normal.dot, even
when I know for sure I've made no changes to it. This behavior doesn't
happen when I exit Word (unless, of course, I've changed normal.dot).. Any
idea on what might cause this? Thanks,

I've been seeing this for years. Aside from the obvious style and AutoText settings that might have changed, I've heard that it might be related to toolbar buttons, but I'm going blank on the exact connection

are you using any word addins that add a template to startup? acrobat is
one... but there is at least one more popular program that adds a template
to startup.

This also happens when a the file locations in Word for a normal.dot points
to a non existent location. Word can deal with this as it simply switches
back to the default location in the profile.
Also I've seen this happening when Outlook is started while Word never has
been used yet for that users (but obviously that is not the case now).

There are two things listed in templates & add-ins: PDFMaker.dot (Acrobat)
and a global template that I created (with autotext and so forth in it).
