Vista - Decode Office Registry Entries: HKCU\...\Data

Decode Office Registry Entries: HKCU\...\Data

Can anyone point me to a reference for decoding the "toolbars", "settings", "settings word mail", and "toolbars word mail" entries in Vista 64 Registry Entry HKCU\software\microsoft\office\12\word\data

Background and Reason For Asking: For several weeks, when closing Word 2007 SP2 have been getting message "change has been made that affects the global template normal do you want to save these changes". Since I haven't done anything that should have changed it, I don't save. Googling shows that several others have a similar problem. KB291352 and other reports have information on cause and correction, none of which appear to apply in my case.

Today, while working with Microsoft tech support on another Word 2007 issue, the message went away. Some "diagnostic" activity taken by tech support included renaming three HKCU Registry Keys. Afterwards, I reversed these renames on a one-at-a-time basis and found that the HKCU\...\data key is the one that triggers the message. The new and renamed entries are made up of hexadecimal data. My assumption is that one or more of the bit settings is the trigger, and I'd like to decode them to see if the cause can be determined. - Thanks
