Every time I close a certain document in MS Word, I get a prompt asking if I want to save changes.?

Update:

I have not changed anything. How do I find out what it is trying to change? The only thing I can think of is a code to change a date.

Update 2:

If I open some Word documents, I can close the file, and it will close without asking to save. This file will always give this prompt, even though I made no changes. I want it to stop prompting. I want to be able to do this with any Word file that does this. I have a collection of manuals that were all based on the same template. They all do this, and it wastes my time.

Update 3:

The only thing I did was print a copy.

    If you print, then Word will check the pagination for the printer - that can cause changes, so it asks if you want to save the changes.

    If you didn't save it will ask.
