I expect the answer to be 'No' but it's always worth atry -

Can the FAST SAVE option in MS Word 2002 be disabled by reg key? Or by any other means that can be centrally distributed?

Or is it recorded within the NORMAL.DOT?

Many thanks for any help

Don't know about Word 2K2, but in 2K, Tools-Options - Save tab, uncheck Allow fast saves. Probably on a PC by PC basis.

The fact you do it by Tools > anything means it is in Normal.dot.

There may be a registry hack, but I don't know it.

Could you not have this in an AutoExec Macro?

Application.Options.AllowFastSave = False

Hope this helps.

Many thanks all - it is as expected (Tools> = NORMAL.DOT). Had hoped for a REG hack cf POWERPOINT (which is within the registry).

Autoexec macro it will have to be then....
