problem w. closing document

[Miriam]

When I try to close a document to which I've made no changes, why am I asked
if I want to save changes? The document should simply close, shouldn't it?

 

[Jezebel]

Even if you have made no changes, there are changes that can happen behind
the scene. If the document contains a { DATE } field, that gets updated
every time you open the document. If you print the document, the
LastPrintDate property is updated. And there are any number of things a
macro can do to make Word think the document needs saving.

When I try to close a document to which I've made no changes, why am I asked
if I want to save changes? The document should simply close, shouldn't

it?
