Word 2003 save at exit even with no changes -ALWAYS

Hello all. I have recently obtained a new computer at work with a fresh install of MS Office 2003 Small Business installed by Dell.

Every time I open a file, do NOTHING to it, and then exit, Word asks me to save it. I have never has this issue before on other systems and it is getting pretty annoying.

Any ideas about why this is happening and how I may be able to stop it?

Thank you in advance.
