Turn off the Save Feature in Word after printing?

Hi,
Everytime I print a Word document, even though I haven't changed a thing,
I'm always asked "Do you Want to Save the changes ...to this document". I
didn't make any changes - all I'm trying to do is print and close my document.

Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Not really. You have almost certainly updated fields, even though the field
result didn't change. Word sees this as a change. Get used to it. I save
before printing and then ignore the prompt after printing unless I've
changed something else. (Or I OK the second save, generally not a big deal.)

Printing a document changes the 'Last Print Date' property, even if there's
no field using that property. If you really want a fix, write a FilePrint
macro that checks the document's Saved property, then prints, then sets the
Saved property back to what it was.

But why bother?
