Does anyone know how to turn off all the messages that Office throws up now?
Attempting to open a file in Excel without an extension gets you a message
balloon ending with "Do you want to open the file now?". The "This document
was sent to the printer" that only goes away when the X is clicked. All this
is annoying and time wasting. Tried to look for thos but can not seem to find
much info in 2007. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what message you're getting in Excel. Maybe if you quoted
all of it instead of just the part you think is important, then someone
might recognize it and know how to get rid of it.

The "document was sent to the printer" message comes from Windows, not
from Office.
