Hello:
My old W98 PC, dating from around '98 used a '97 version of Word.
Never any problems, worked quite well.
Now I just bought a new PC, running XP, and the version of Word
that came with it is driving me crazy.
This version is labeled as Word 2002 (10.4030.2625)
I'm just a typical home user; a few letters, and other very simple word
processing.
Absolutely nothing fancy. Just use the most basic functions; don't need, or
desire, the zillions of bells and whistles in it. Never use Templates,
etc.
Just want to look at, create, or re-open, a document, and of course re-save
it.
The following happens most of the time, but not all of the time:
When I go to close out something I've looked at, or possibly modified a
little, I get:
"This File is in use by another application or user."
Then Save As comes up. The Default window in this "Save As" shows
"Templates"
I then click the upper X box to close it out.
Then it says:
"Changes have been made that effect
the Global Template, Normal.
Do you want to Save these changes ?"
(I never use Templates, or modify any of them)
I click on NO.
Then it usually just repeats all of this, but eventually I do get out of it.
What options or configurations must I do to eliminate all of these
(Template, etc.)
messages, and just have a "simple" word process again, like before ?
It's really driving me batty.
Much thanks, appreciate the help,
Bob
