Every time I make no other "change" than either printing a file or
counting the words of a file, and I close the file, I get the message
"Do you want to save the changes you made to ..." and have to click
(usually) "No" or "Yes".

I wonder, first, what the purpose (benefit) of saving this
"printed/counted" information would be, and second, if there is any way
of turning off the "Do you want to save ..." message in these cases?

Regards,

Hans L

Hi Hans

Even Though You Have Made No Changes"

G'day "Hans L" <fakeascanbe@evenfakier.com>,

It is caused by the auto updating of links before printing and is
problematic to automatically detect and cancel. You can intercept the
FilePrint command and fiddle with the dirty flag but I find this
somewhat unpredictable.
