Prompt for Saving

[Guest]

I have Word 2002 loaded on a Windows XP machine. I have a couple of odd
issues on some (most) documents I create (not that others have created):

1) If I open and immediately close a document I get "Do you want to save
your changes". I discovered this by accident and when I tested several
documents that I created I get this message even though I have made any
changes.

2) More bothersome is that when I send documents that I create to the
printer, it always wants a manual feed. I send to different network printers
and it happens on all. I have changed the printer options to select a
specific tray and tried auto select. I also changed the Word print options to
"use printer settings", Auto Select" and tried selecting a specific tray.
Doesn't matter - always sends as manual. This doesn't happen with Word
documents that others create and I print. It doesn't happen with other
printing in other programs.

Any ideas?

1) Tools > Options > General and uncheck Help for Word Perfect users.

2) Check your selected paper size, you may have selected an unusual
paper size that causes your printer to assume you will add that paper.
