Does the doc have any fields in it? Like a date field, a page number 
field...?

If so, chances are that the fields are updated when you open the doc, 
which is a change, even if the fields aren't changed. I know it's 
bizare. And that is triggering the save prompt.

Probably the same reason.

If you are closing the doc using code, then use what Andy posted. If 
the user is just closing Word, or the doc manually, then no. Or at 
least, not without getting rid of the fields.
