linked file issue in Word 2007/Excel 2007

[houweipeng via OfficeKB.com]

Hi All,

I encounter a strange issue in word 2007/Excel 2007.

1.Start Word 2007/Excel 2007 Application.
2.Insert a linked file.
3.Save this Word 2007/Excel 2007 document and close this document.
4.Reopen this document, don’t modify any and close it.

I got a prompt to save changes to this document, but I didn't modify any. Is
it as designed by Word 2007/Excel 2007 or the Word 2007/Excel 2007 error?

If this issue is the the Word 2007/Excel 2007 error, how to resolve this
error?

Thanks in advance.

If you have Word configured to update links on opening a document then that
will be seen as a change that might require saving.

Thanks your reply in advance. But I had configured the update automatic links
at open option to false.(Word Options->Advanced->General->Update automatic
links at open). When we open the document which contains the linked file, I
wonder which options also can affect the linked document except Update
automatic links at open.
