Hello,

When I open a Word file on the server that is saved in the old .doc format, the "date modified" changes, even though I did not do anything to change the file. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I can confirm that it happens only with files that are saved on the server. I saved one to my desktop and the date remains regardless of when I subsequently open it. Also, it happens only with .doc files, not with .docx. I am using 10.6.8 and Office 2008.

Thanks for any suggestions.
