Word 2000 Prompting to save

[f0z]

I'm not a word expert and I've just been handed this problem and asked to fix it.

Basiscally when a user opens a word document, then closes it down again they are being prompted to save the document. "This document has been modified. Do you want to save the changes.".

I've been working just off one particular document and this seems to be occuring only when a user clicks into a table cell. i.e. the user opens the document, clicks into a table cell (not apparently making any changes), closes the document. Prompt to save.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

cheers,

foz

Hi f0z,

I'm afraid I do not understand your problem. What do you need suggestions for?
Do you want to suppress this prompt?
If so: do you always want to suppress it on closure, or only in empty documents?

I would not recommend supressing permanently, since the option is meaningful. You could permanently suppress it with this:

Sub AutoClose()
  ActiveDocument.Saved = True
End Sub

This will pretend, that the document is saved and thus disables the prompt. You can put this in a module in "normal.dot".
;-)
Once again: Sometimes, you accidentally hit the close button when trying to minimize - you will lose all data with this option enabled..

Hope this helps,

sorry about not specify the actual issue:

i need to supress this prompt, but if i knew what was causing the document to be altered that would go a long way to solving the problem.
