Re: Normal.dot Does Not Update on Exit

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

1. Make the registry change.
2. Make the changes to normal.com.
3. Close MS Word after changing normal.com.
4. Change registry settings back to "3".
You will have full functionality of the Acrobat 7 .com add-in. Should you
need to change normal .com, repeat this process.
