Problem saving Word documents 2010

[bookbean]

It seems that no matter which Word document I open (using Word 2010), whether it is a recently new document or an older document that I created months or years ago, once I click on the save button I receive the following message:



Do you also want to save changes to the document template?

I am sure that those familiar with this will know that my only options there are either Yes, No, or Help (Help doesn't seem to live up to its name there).

I have corrupted something in a start up file such as Normal.dot? How can I make this message go away once and for all?

Assistance will be greatly appreciated.
