Opening Word Attchments prompts "Do you want to save"

[Janine Rauscher]

After upgrading to Office 2007, whenever I open Word documents that come
through as email attachments, I am being asked to save changes when I close
the document even if I have not made any changes. How do I turn this off?

After upgrading to Office 2007, whenever I open Word documents that come
through as email attachments, I am being asked to save changes when I close
the document even if I have not made any changes. How do I turn this off?

But you ARE changing it. When you open an attachment, the application used to
open the attachment is creating a new document on your hard drive and then
populating it with the original attachment contents. When you close that
document, the application asks you is you want to save the contents, just like
you had created a new Word document and pasted text into it, then decided to
close the Word window.
