DH Templates

I need a computer persons help!!!! ..........please?

EVERYTIME I finish work and go to turn the computer off the following message appears: "Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal.dot. Do you want to save those changes?" It is very annoying, hard to get around and takes ages for me to turn the computer off meaning I finish work later! The computer fixer guy came and he looked at me like I was crazy or like I was making it up or as if he had no idea what I was talking about. He kind of just ignored me and did something else. I saw his invoice for $300.00 today too - Oh my god what for? So, I found this webpage: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291352 and I am so confused - Can someone please help me? I cannot delete much on my computer because I work for a lawyer and there are so much important documents!!! Thank you smart computer people!!! :) YES thanks I suppose I wont be able to fix it then :( Very annoying....xo

1. Tell your boss about the situation. Get a licensed and bonded tech in and have him actually fix the problem. I'm sure a lawyer understands that you shouldn't have to pay to have someone come in and ignore what you tell them to do.
2. What is causing the error message is that you are using a Word document that was created with a modified version of Word's Normal.dot template. The program is asking if you want to modify the stored template or not. I cannot tell you if you should save the changes or not. That depends if you are working with documents that are standard to your office or not. But here is one way to do things: Find the Normal.dot template file save a backup copy with a new name Now open one of your documents and save the changes to the Normal.dot template That will stop the error message Then talk to your boss and have him tell the tech to go take a hike Good luck
