Default Rogue 'Save Changes' prompt in Word

If you print a document an internal flag is updated to record the last print
date in the document properties. This shows as a change that requires
saving. How Open Office does things is irrelevant.

Why does Word do this (when, say, OpenOffice Writer doesn't)? Is
there a way to turn this off? It's very frustrating when you have
loads of documents...
