It might even stop giving you the option to ignore it when it sees you start a letter. "Microsoft Word thinks you are writing a letter. After the last one, young Kevin, Microsoft Word was not pleased. In fact, Paper Clip has some very angry friends on your desk who are uncurling themselves at this moment ... " Here they come ... the first two get his eyes. Blinded, he turns, screaming, but the vanguard troops are waiting for his bare feet. They have hooked themselves firmly in the tufts of his carpet. Not having had Bed-of-Nails training, despite his travels to India, Kevin falls to the ground. At that moment, the Paper Clips bring on the Stapler ...

Please stop asking. Opening a document to view it does not constitute a change either, even if the program that opens it has to convert the format in order to understand it. I wish Appleworks would stop asking me if I want to save Windows Word documents when all I do is open then close them. I also wish I didn't have to deal with Word documents at all, but that's another matter.
