Revision windows popup on Print Preview open and close - WHY?????

[MacDaRam]

When I OPEN or CLOSE a PRINT PREVIEW I am forced to cycle through four pop-up
Revision windows, as follows,
(1) Revision Number
(2) Revision Date
(3) Creation Date
(4) Revised By
I have to press OKAY or CANCEL on each window even though I do not want to
enter this information. This scenario exists for both new and existing
documents. Please can someone tell me how to stop this from happening.

Hi Bob,

I'm using MS Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5606).
Part of MS Office Pro Edition 2003.

Never seen anything like this and it's so annoying. BTW it is not only me
who is experiencing this problem. Any PC (in my company) built from the same
image seems to inherit the problem.

Hi Mac,

My guess would be that your company may have a document management system it's using and capturing certain document properties is
something intentional, it may be something thats being done via a macro, but you may want to start with the settings in

Tools=>Options=>Save
[ ] Prompt for Document properties

File=>Page Setup
check the 'Print What' choice.

as well as holding the ctrl key when starting Word to see if this stops the behavior (Office safe mode that disables macros and most
add-ins for testing).
