When the Word document is closed, you are not prompted to save it. Under normal circumstances, when you use Word to edit the document and close the Word, Word 2003 will prompt you if you want to save the changes to the Word document. If you do not prompt to save the Word when it is disabled, and you do not have the habit of saving it at will, a lot of useful data will be lost. What should we do in this situation? First, you need to clarify a problem. Word will only prompt to save a new document or modify it. If you open an existing document, if the document is not modified, the Word will not prompt you to save it. In fact, in this case, you do not need to save it. Microsoft official explanation for this problem is: under normal circumstances, Microsoft Word 2003 will not automatically save the file without user confirmation, unless you set the "automatically save" option. The following solutions do not prompt to save when the Word is disabled. They are applicable to any version of Word: 1. Delete the template file of Word: C: Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataMicrosoftTemplates. Delete all files with Normal. dot and. dot in the directory. 2. Restart Word and then click OK.
