I recently started using Word 2003, and for some reason I do not receive a
'Save' prompt when I close a document that has had changes made to it. In
past versions, if you made any type of change and did not conciously save the
document, upon closing it would ask if you want to save it. Sometimes you do,
sometimes you don't. I can't seem to 'turn this feature on' in this version
of Word. Any suggestions?

The Goldmine add-in for Word can cause this problem.

Any thoughts on how to fix it or remove it?

You might ask the folks who make Goldmine (
http://www.frontrange.com/goldmine/ ). One user reported that
upgrading to the newest version of Goldmine fixed the problem for
him, but there may be other options.
