according following microsoft article, /f switch supposed open new document based on existing document:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/command-line-switches-for-microsoft-office-word-2007-hp010164010.aspx

appears /f switch not behave specified. when opened document switch, edited document, , saved, original changed.  dangerous.

in quick test, see nothing strange using /f switch. entering winword /f "path\filename.docx" in run dialog box , pressing enter, untitled document (based on specified file) , saving produces save dialog box.
