Action on Save seems to cause unneeded Saves

[christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com]

I have an update subroutine that is triggered by a Save. (It's invoked by a
"Sub appWord_DocumentBeforeSave" in a separate class module.) During
development, the update routine has a message showing when it's active. It
works correctly except that it occasionally runs when I haven't done a save,
or anything else. (In one case I was in Powerpoint doing something else.)
These seem fairly random so I'm not sure how to test for it. Any ideas what
causes this?

I identified a definite case that causes the phenomenon I described. When I'm
in another program and return to Word, this seems to trigger the Save event.
Why should returning to Word trigger a Save?

Christopher,

Could it be that AutoSave is triggering the subroutine? If so, I don't know
what the workaround might be, but at least it would explain the behaviour...
