saving changes to documents

M

I have Word 2002, as part of Office XP. Recently, when I
close a document, I get the default "do you want to save
changes" box, even if no changes or alterations have been
made to the document. Since I have made no changes, I
can only think that this is a preference choice that has
been made to ask this every time, but I have not been
able to find that option to turn this off anywhere. Does
anyone know how to turn this off? Thanks in advance for
any assistance.

It is _not_ a preference setting. It means that changes have been made, even
if you can't see or detect them. Most often this is caused by fields,
especially fields updated at printing or upon opening.

Charles,
I appreciate the info. However, as my document does not
have any fields that automatically update, is there a way
to detect where these changes are occurring?
