Thanks for the info. I'll look for macros and fields, although I don't
recall creating or running any macros while working in the document. No
third-party add-ins that I'm aware of. The only field I'm aware of using is
page numbering. That doesn't get updated just by scrolling through the
document or clicking in the document...or does it?

This indicates that something is marking the document as 'dirty'. This is
usually a macro, a third party add-in or a field (such as a date field)
updating on opening.
