I have Windows XP, Word 2002.

If I pull up a document, just to look at it, not scroll down, just look,
when I ask it to close, Word asks me if I want to save changes, when I
have
made no changes. I notice this happens on recent documents, rather than
older
ones. Why does Word do this and how do I get it to stop.

Thanks, Jeanne
