    Urgent - Random Save As dialogs in Office 2003

    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking at a users PC at the mo', when he uses office - say Outlook and Word, the Save As dialog keeps appearing with title of either a selected email or the active document in it.

    It happens randomly, with no apparent intervention from the user... I've tried to cause the dialog to appear and did so by pressing num-lock but then it wouldn't happen again.

    These random dialogs are causing a real hassle - does anyone in Hexus land have any idea what's going on? I've checked the settings of the MS apps and no strange save settings appear to be in use...

    Thanks,

    Akira.

    Just had a look at Word 2003 and can't see anything obvious.

    In Tools-Options-General-Service Options, is there anything in those 3 items?
