Default How to prevent Word 2016 from automatically saving a boilerplate document

Hello:
I have a "boilerplate" document that I use in my lending business. It is a fill in the blank type of document. For loan #1, I use it by entering the property address, the name of the borrower, etc., and save it using the property address as the name of the document. Then, when I need to use the boilerplate for loan #2 I open the loan #1 document, and replace the property address, name of the borrower, etc., and save it with the address of property #2.

The problem is that, when I do this, Word saves my changes automatically, so when I close the property #2 document, and reopen the property #1 document, the changes are saved automatically to the property #1 document.



Any ideas on how to stop this from happening. I should add that I have been doing this for many years and did not have this problem until a month or so ago.
