Hello Dave : When you are creating a doc for the first time whether you click save or save as the popup box will come up. The next time you open it to do some editing on that particular doc you just need to click on the save button and exit out. If you are working on a new document and you want to exit out of it Word will ask you if you want to save it or not At least that's the way mine works--- Another thing you could do is type a question for help in the right hand corner. There is a wealth of information and tutorials on how to accomplish your tasks or solve a problem you are having in Word. If you find it is not running properly you could do the following below. 1. Defrag your system 2. Run the detect and repair in your program-- Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.R.
