"Do You Want to Save the Changes..."
I have this document that's 'read only'. Lately, whenever I open it and then close it, Word XP asks "Do you want to save the changes...?" What changes did I make? All I did was to open the document to read it and then close it. I didn't touch the keyboard, didn't make any changes. How does Word ask me "do you want to save the changes...?"
So I humored Word. I saved the document (under a different name, of course) and then compared the two documents. No surprise: "Word found no changes." How do I get Word to stop asking me to save this document when I didn't make any changes? Len |
