Styles being added in the template

[Vikas Bhandari]

Hi,

Before telling about my problem, would like to add a few things. I have
created a template(dot file) for 2000-2003. Whenever user double clicks the
template or open that file, then a new document is created and a form pops
up, the user fills in some information and the entered information is placed
on different tables. So far, it is working good. Now, my template has some
styles already in it. If user touches the styles in the new document, there
is a new style added in the template file. So whenever user closes the
application, it asks if you want to save the changes to style in template. I
want to supress that message. Please Help...

Its veryy veryy annoying to the users

Thanks for the help!!

It could be something as simple as unchecking - tools > options > edit >
keep track of formatting.
If a user makes a change that affects the template then you will get such a
prompt.

Thank you so much for the response Graham. It worked perfectly fine for 2003.
However, I tried to find the same thing in 2000 also but I couldn't find it
for 2000. Any idea what is the corresponding option in 2000 version?

There is no "Keep track of formatting" feature in Word 2000; it was
introduced in Word 2002 with the Styles and Formatting task pane.
