Turn off the save attachment msg when closing email

[Guest]

Every time you close a email with an attachment that you have looked at in
Outlook 2007 the system prompts you to save the changed attachment Yes Or No
even though you have not made any changes and if it is many forwarded emails
and you forget to close the first one you get to be click happy. Can this be
turned off?

This is exactly the question I came here to ask. I'm posting this to keep it
in the queue until someone reads it who can answer it.

This problem is a real pain in the neck.

Hi. I wrote the comment above. In coming back to look around again for a
possible answer, I found one possibility. Not a good one, though: I have a
bad feeling the answer may be, as suggested in “ The Attachments of the
Message "your_doc" have been changed†by Marvin P. Winterbottom, “that will
happen if the version of word you have is newer than the version that made
the attachment, I think.â€

If true, it means of course that we 2007 users will have this problem till
everyone else adopts 2007 or until someone tells us how to avoid it. But so
far no one has offered a solution to it despite several different thread
queries, which makes me think there isn't one. I would love to be proved
wrong.

It might work if you set Word 2007 to always use Word 2003 format.

Thanks, Brian, I'll try that and report back in.

Sorry, Brian, I can't seem to get Word to retain "Lay out this document as if
created in MS Office Word 2003," which I found at Options/Advanced, very last
item. Is there anywhere else I can achieve this setting?

I haven't had a chance to check this on my Office 2007 system yet.

Open Word, click the Office button on the top left of the title bar, click
Word Options, select Save, and change the "Save files in this format"
drop-down to "Word 97-2003 document" and see if that makes a difference.
