Hi

Does anyone know how to disable the Save box when you exit word??

Some of our users are not allowed to write word documents, but we need word installed as we create documents that need printing. I've disabled all the menu options and shortcuts by using a group policy. But our users can change an existing document and save this when exiting word by answering the Do you want to save changes to document? question which pops up when exiting. Is there a way to disable this question, or even just grey out the yes answer button?

Thanks
Sean
 
Put a code line in Document_Close

activedocument.Close (wdDoNotSaveChanges)

Also rewrite the FileSave and FileSaveAs command, to the same thing. I think that is what you are looking for, If not, repost with more details.
