I work on a Word Document and close it when finished, When I close word
asks if I want to save it and I say yes, it closes. All is good. The next
time I open this Word Document and close it, it does so without asking if
want to save the changes because I made no changes. This is the way it should
be. I think.

Now I have another Word Document ; I open it to look at it and make no
changes. When I close this Word Document it asks if I want to save the
changes. There were no changes made to this Word Document, so why does it ask
about saving changes that were not made?

Is there something I have to do to stop this from being asked? As always,
your help will be appreciated. I tried looking for the answer in HELP without
success. Bob K

This means that their is something active in the document. This may be
something as simple as a Date field that is set to update on opening or
possibly an AutoOpen macro running.
