Default Word 2007 changes Date Modified in Explorer

Each time I open a document with Word 2007, the date modified is changed in
Windows explorer. This happens even when no changer are made to the document.

Older versions of Word would change the date in Windows explorer, but then
reset it when the document was closed, if no changes were made.

How can I stop this

That does not happen here. The document must be being saved for the date to
change.

I have a document here that I open nearly everyday for the purpose of
copying and pasting information to reply to messages in these newsgroups and
it is still showing the date of 24/03/2009 which would be the date on which
I did last change it.

Hope this helps.

Maybe you have an AutoOpen macro doing something (such as putting your
cursor in the last place you edited, or setting the Zoom).
