this is due to how office progams save your file.
you are aware that when you have a document open on your computer, that it is saved in your computer's memory (RAM). Well when you save that document, all Word does is grab all the raw data that's in memory for that document, and place it in a file with a few extras, on your hard drive.
so when you open that file, it grabs the data it's told to in your file, and puts it back into memory. when you go and print that document, then the data in the RAM has changed slightly, as it's been told to print. when you go to close the document, Word compares the data in RAM to the data in the original file. it's changed (it thinks), so it asks you what it asks. it doesn't actually compare sentance for sentance, so it doesn't know that the actual content of the document hasn't changed.
this technique is sometihng that was started in the early 90s. in the forthcoming version of office (specifically, excel, word and powerpoint so far), the files are going to be saved in XML. thus it'll save the content itself, so this issue may be resolved. (this is one of many, many advantages).
