Instead of opening the original document you can create a new one from it.

From File Open: if the original document you require is available from those listed simply right-click and select "Open a Copy". If you need to use the Browse option to find the access the original file use the drop down menu of the Open button and select "Open as Copy"

In both instances Word creates a new document from the existing one, ensuring that the content of the original remains unchanged.

You can also save your standard 15-page mortgage document as a template using Content Controls to indicate where the required information needs to be completed.
