Nickname_Another,

Here's another good resource for cleaning out Word:

The actual article link is: http://howtotroubleshoot.blogspot.com/#113035503245630446 [http://howtotroubleshoot.blogspot.com/#113035503245630446].  It has extra detail that the article Brad referred you to doesn't have about what you're actually doing when you clean out Word.

Now, what document is it telling you that it will recover?  The normal.dot or the document in which you were working?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
When I close Word, it says:<br />
Microsoft Office Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.<br />
The information you were working on might be lost. Microsoft Office Word can try to recover it for you.<br />
&lt;Check box&gt; Recover my work and restart Microsoft Office Word<br />
etc. etc.<br />
&lt;&nbsp;Send Error Report &gt;&nbsp;&lt; Don't Send &gt;<br />
<br />
I choose &quot;Don't Send&quot; and uncheck the Recover box.<br />
<br />
I have tried repairing/re-installing the office application.<br />
And still this error stays.<br />
<br />
How can I get rid of it?

Word gives 'recover my work...' error every time I close it

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
