Hi Linda and Ray,
Thanks for your quick replies.
<<The most common culprit for this is a field. If your document has a field
for - say - the date of the letter or a 'last printed' time,>>
None of these documents contain any fields. One of the documents that
triggers the "Save Changes" prompt consists of nothing but text. It does have
the page number in the header. Although the pagination isn't changing, (in
fact, absolutely nothing is changing), maybe the generation of the pagination
when the document opens is enough to give the prompt. Is that possible? The
document has six pages. I doubt pagination is the culprit because other
documents have page numbers in the header, but they don't trigger the prompt.
Also, I added page number to a non-prompting document, and it continues to
open and close quietly without any prompts.
In Tools>Templates and Addins, the document template window contains the word
"Normal". the Global templates window is completely blank.
I occasionally use the Adobe reader, but never Acrobat. I did have Norton's
AV on this PC, but I uninstalled it about 18 months ago.
Although I haven't done an exhaustive examination, at least some of these
prompting documents were originally created on a different PC which uses Word
2002 without any Service Packs. The version of Word on this PC is also 2002,
but it has had Service Pack 3 applied. Maybe these "foreign born" documents
are undergoing some kind of conversion every time they are opened on this PC?
As I said in my original post, this is a trivial problem, and I'm willing to
drop it unless you can suggest further troubleshooting steps.
