Hi Can anyone help, when closing the computer we are getting the following message:

Please close all Word Documents before shutting down (click OK)

We didn’t have any word documents open but went into word and did File Exit; this took us to the last email we replied to, which I then had to close before shutting down .

This has started since we set up a signature for replies and only happens if we have replied to a message that day.

Any help would be great!

Your signature file is most likely a Word-document.
OE or Outlook opens that Word-doc in the background.
Switch that 'signature' over to text-only within OE/Outlook Options.
Or get a better email-program.

Thanks for the information, how do i change it in options?

use openoffice.org --- you won't have that issue (and it's free)

Switch that 'signature' over to text-only within OE/Outlook Options.
Just fill out the text-box, and get rid of the attached signature file.
