    - Disable dialog?? Within my organization it is necessary that normal.dot is designated as read-only. We have an add-in template that is configured to load when Word starts. With this add-in template installed, Word presents the users with the following message when they try to exit: "Word cannot save changes to the global template because it was opened with read-only access." The user is then given the option to save normal.dot under a different name. Is there a way to prevent that message from appearing? Tag: hour glass like auto save is on Tag: 74097

    - Typing In Word Hangs I have a problem similar to an earlier posting. When I open MS Word, I type one or two characters and then Word hangs up. After a minute or so, Word will allow me to type another couple of characters and then hangs again. The problem goes away when I open MS Word in safe mode (Start, Run, type in "winword /a", Press "Enter"). The computer I'm using has AMD's Athalon XP 1900+ processor, 1GB DDR SDRAM, Windows 2000 (SP4 and all patches), and Office XP Pro (2002 w/SP2 and all patches). Possibly related is Outlook. When I open Outlook, it also opens MS Word. If I originate e-mail, what I type in the first e-mail is displayed in the MS Word Window. After sending it, second and subsequent e-mails originated during that session are displayed in a regular message window. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the Word problem? Is it related to Outlook? Thanks, Dave Tag: hour glass like auto save is on Tag: 74051

    - Word 2002 duplex printing My last post didn't seem to appear so this is a repeat attempt to make a post. Manual duplex printing simply asks me to load the next piece of paper in the sheet feeder when it hasn't printed the first page and prints nothing else when I respond to the "OK" in the dialog box. Page setup is multiple pages 'book fold' and 'all' sheets. I am running Windows 98SE, Word 2002 and using a Lexmark 1100 printer. Auto duplex printing seems to work OK, but is only suitable for a different printer and so is no use to me at the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    - Word Opens Slowly I am still having trouble with Word and wonder if anyone has new ideas. It opens slowly and if I interrupt it opening by trying to click, it may freeze. Otherwise it works fine, just opens and closes slowly. If I open it in winword.exe /a, it does fine. I have tried deleting normal.dot, the registry data key, and have deleted temp files. If I look for Add-ins, including the Com add-ins, there has never been anything in the windows. I wonder if Adobe or Symantec has left something somewhere--but where and what could be causing the conflict? I am using NAV Corporate Edition, and Adobe Reader 6.0. Thanks.
