Avoid explaining to MSword "do not save changes" to unaltered doc.

[Halgoogol]

It did not used to be this way, but lately, at least half the MS Word
documents that I open, peek at and then close, will then require another
click ao that I might idicate that I do not want to "save the changes" that I
have not made. What is wrong, now, with MS Word, that was not wrong before?

If you have date fields in the document or linked items
that update when you view the document and the setting
in Tools=>Options=>General for
[x] Update Automatic links on open
is checked or change the zoom view when you open the
docuement, those are things that can cause Word to see
the document as 'changed'.

Perhaps you have placed automatically updating fields in these documents?
