Hi Vijay,

There are couple of ways in which you can achieve this.

You can remove the autorevover files option from Tools-Options
Remove Allow Background Saves.

Otherways is little longer.
Remember, everytime a Word file is closed abnormally, word automatically
creates a temp file for that document. such a file is usually stored along
with the original document. Such file name starts with '~'. You can delete
all such file entries before you open any document which will not show the
File-repair window.

However, doing so involves risk of data loss.

Hopet his helps.

Hi Vaidya,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I can' go for the first
option, because we can not say to end users to turn off that feature. Second
option is not a good idea but it works.

Thanks
Vijay

Those options aren't bad but they're not applicable in my scenario. In part,
we get files from many users and different sites, so I can't always see the
temp file.

Is there a way to tell if the file has these errors and then just save the
document? Can the dialog be suppressed.
