The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Word for Windows does not prompt you to save changes to a document
when you close the document after you run the spelling checker if you
change spelling only in the footnote.

CAUSE
=====

This happens because Word does not change the document status to
"dirty" (that is, flag the file as changed) if the only change you
make is to the footnote during a spelling check operation.

STATUS
======

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND
==========

You must save the file before you close it to keep these changes.
