Default
The line '.Close SaveChanges:=True' only re-saves the document if any changes have actually been made. The problem lies in your code, which explicitly updates wDoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyComments) without checking whether any changes have been made or whether it already matches strRplc.
