Why does Word/Excel always ask me if I want to save even if I dont modify it???

Can anybody help? All i do is open a .xls file or a .doc file and when I close the window/application...it asks me if I want to save the changes!!...what changes? I haven't made any changes...I dont understand

Help!

Are you saying if you open a Word file, and immediately close it without doing anything, it asks you to save?

Just a note, If you happen to move the cursor to a different cell or space whatever that is a change. I know this got me in the past.

For some excel files it wont ask me but for the others it does ask me even if I dont move the cursor....Strange isn't it?

I think the word issue has been resolved...

Anybody knows of any other solution?

Thanks

Maybe the ones that do it have some macros or visual basic in it that could be doing something that you don't see. Other than that I am out of ideas.

it the file was made with an older version of the program you're opening it in then its probably trying to auto-update the "hidden" crap within the files. cause ms is dumb like that.

That must be it..some of the files have macros..and the files that are having this problem have been made with the older versions of excel....

Thanks for your help guys
