***************************************************
Here are a few simple ways to get around the headache of this message popping up everytime... GRRRRR.

1) If you are in aDomain enviroment, go to the progrmafiles directory and local microsoft office. Right click on it and go to properties. Under the securities tab, add "Authenticated Users" and/or "Everyone" with rights to modify. This allows the normal.dot template to do what what is has to do when Word is shutting down. Reboot the computer for this to work.

2) Go to TOOLS, MACROS, and Security and MOdify the security level to be High. On the "Trusted Sources" uncheck all boxes and Remove all the sources in the box. Restart word, and see is it works.

3) Final Solution... Install openoffice, forget this conversation.....
