Word 2003, Tools, Options, General tab. Click on Service Options. Likely

Has it been activated?

Since I never let it connect, maybe not. (But I'm not getting any "you
haven't activated yet" messages). I'll let it go next time - that's
probably it (I noticed that Excel stopped calling home - but I don't
remember if I let it through once).

I had feedback turned off, but not the online content options. Thank you.

I've had this occur with Office 2K - on an intermittent basis. Not only at
startup, but for each document opened as well. Apply the usual solution to
MS problems - reboot!
