Default Don't change read only documents, or at least don't ask me about t

Why does all office software ask me to save changes to documents I have not
changed?

Excel has the nerve to ask me if I want to open a document as read only and
STILL asks me to save changes (there are none) if I open it that way.

What's really fun is going through closing (and confirming non-existent
changes to) four or five Excel documents, then cancelling closing one and
watching all the windows reopen.

Let's not mention that Excel is the ONLY piece of software for windows that
closes all instances if you close one window.
