when I open a word document and then close it, I keep getting prompted if I
want to save changes, even though I did not make any kind of change.. didnt
even move the curser... help

This happens if the document contains fields that update automatically, such
as DATE fields, or less commonly, if an AutoOpen macro is running that
'touches' the document in some way. Just say No.

Though You Have Made No Changes€�

In addition to the other suggestions, abandoned temporary files can cause
this, as can minor corruption in normal.dot. See
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm and if still no cure
see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm

Oops I had it in my head that it was the prompt to save normal.dot that
kept popping up, but was too quick on the send key
Removing orphan files is, however, never a bad thing to do.
