Are the users accessing a common normal.dot template on the network? You
already has the suggestion of deleting the normal.dot in case it is
corrupted, but since multiple users are reporting the same problem, I would
suspect that there may be a common cause. Check to make sure that the
normal.dot template is on each individual computer. If it already is, then
you might check if normal.dot is in each user's own settings area, or if it
is common to all users on a machine. Just some additional ideas.

                I work in Windows 2000 network environment with approx. 50
users on 35 machines (Win98, Win 2K, WinXp).  Lately I've had staff members
complain about the reoccurrence of the following message:  The normal.dot
file has been modified would you like to save these changes or either the
global template file has been modified ...(Whether staff selects Yes or the
Cancel option, the message continues to reappear
until about 4th or 5th time of selecting either option).   Is there any
option in MS Word that I could choose to prevent these messages from
reappearing permanently?
