Disable "do you want to save changes" on a form

[Wowbagger]

I have a protected Word form (created in 2003, used in 2000, 2002 and 2003)
with a handful of fields. After the fields are populated the form will be
printed and the file closed. Is there a way to prevent the "do you want to
save changes" prompt from appearing while the form is in protected mode?
(If I turn off the document protection then I would want the prompt to
appear.)

The general idea is laid out in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/PseudoBeforeClose.htm. The example
there, though, does the opposite of what you want.

In your form template, put this macro in a standard module:

Public Sub AutoClose()
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = _
wdAllowOnlyFormFields Then
ActiveDocument.Saved = True
End If
End Sub
