Hi Ann & All, Try the following: While in Word, if you go to Tools, Options, Advanced tab there is a checkbox that you can uncheck, prompt before saving normal template. If you uncheck this checkbox, any changes to the normal template will be saved automatically without bringing up that dialogue. While on the Advance Tab, Alt + O, is the keystroke that will get you there more quickly. Note: you may have to invoke the Alt + O keystroke more than once to get you there. Then, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close options. HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. This email was sent from my, iGoDodgersBarstool.

You shouldn't lose your data. Normal.dotx is the template you get when you open a blank document. It has line spacing set to single, margins an inch on all sides, and so on. I don't know what triggers Word's opinion that I have made changes effecting this template, and when I have saved it out of frustration I don't find any difference in my new documents. I have never lost data by saying 'no'. I usually press escape twice, which then gives me a choice to 'yes or no' save the template, and I say no and go on about my business. Rebooting fixes it, though. At 07:04 AM 9/30/2015, you wrote: >I had never encountered this message until >recently.
