Default DON'T ask if I want to save when closing a document

Word asks me if I want to save a document every time I close it, even though
I DIDN'T make any changes to the document. This is very annoying. How do I
get Word to stop asking me to save when the document hasn't changed?

Do you have a date field in the header or footer (or anywhere) that
dynamically changes when you open the document? If you do, Word considers it
a change, which is why you are getting the Save message.

You need to turn off smart tags. With a word document open to go Tools
Options choose the View tab and uncheck the "smart tags" box. It is in the
first section of the "View" tab. Click ok. Then close the document. It may
ask if you want to save changes. Click yes. That will probably be the last
time you will ever have that problem.

If I open the document and don't do anything it will close, but if I just
scroll or down arrow once, or even just left-click anywhere on the document,
it will ask if I want to save. This doesn't happen to all my word documents
and I have been unable to establish a trend or determine which documents are
affected.

Sorry not for this post. I just registered and somehow this post got input
before I typed anything, so I posted again and my question is in my second
post.

If you do anything that would cause the document to be repaginated, then
fields in the header will be updated. This may or may not be reflected as an
"Update Fields" item in the Undo list.
