AskWoody LoungerSuper great bunch here.
I have 8, and am changing out some parts, mobo, ram etc…My plan is to hopefully take the 8.1 freebie, save it to a directory, & also update it so the same reg # applies…and then move the OS (in directory) to a new ssd??? ya think it’ll work??? On social security I simply cant go for $100+ on a new 8.1 because i changed hardwareI thank u 2 much rick

AskWoody LoungerJessica Thanks so very much, you are a love….This is essentially what I did, although it had no ‘word options’ I went into a ‘normal’ and killed “turn off the Prompt before saving Normal template option.
To turn off this option, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, (which I dont have ) and then click Advanced. Under Save, clear the Prompt before saving Normal template check box. If this check box is already clear, or if clearing it does not resolve this issue, then there may be a problem with Word.”
You remind me of the old days of computing, when one could ask a question, and always get help, thats right on…thanks rick
