MSWord 2002 prompts me to save an unedited doc

[DougM]

Hi,

When I try to close some of my Word 2002 documents "which
I have not edited" in any way, I consistently receive a
dialog box prompting me if I want to save my changes in
the document. Not all of my documents have this odd
problem, and close normally as expected when I've made no
changes. I am not aware of any difference in the
settings between the documents that do and don't have
this problem

Thanks,
DougM

I had a similar problem and, thanks to this site, learned

I needed to turn off "Smart Tags."
