Word 2007-> Contacting the Server for more information. Press ESC to cancel.
I opened an html file in Word 2007, saved it as a DOC. I'm just trying to format it so that I can print it on a single page. Everytime I make a change to the doc (ie. delete a line of text), I get that message at the bottom of the screen and I sit and wait, ESC doesn't respond right away.
How can I stop Windows from going to the online server, and why would it need to go there anyway?
If this is only caused by hyperlinks, how can I get rid of all hyperlinks in one shot, or get rid of all references to any web page in one shot?
Thanks.

Doesn't that I would have to save the original HTML while saving all the connecting pages & subfolders (in Firefox it would be "Save as Web Page, Complete")? And then I would have to put the .doc into the same parent folder and keep all the supporting folders? I don't want to do that. I just want a single .DOC that I can move around without a problem.
