hi KoolPrasad, THE REASON WHY IT IS NOT DISPLAYING THAT MSGBOX WHEN U RESTART, IS U NEED TO ENABLE MACROS IN MS-WORD. ENABLE THE MACROS THEN IT WILL SURELY DISPLAY THE MSGBOX. HOPE IT HELPS.. REGARDS IPS

hi To enable macros in MS word.. follow these steps.. open MSword->open Tools menu-> open Macros-> click on Security menu-item. this will open the Security dialog box. now under the Security level Tab u will find three options.. now try clicking medium and Low options. first try using medium... hope it will solve ur proble.. else try using LOw. then close the document and restart it. This time u surely gonna get the msgbox. regards Nilish
