For the immediate future I won't be changing the Word file - I've changed its disposition to Read Only to make sure of that!
For me at least there's no urgency on this, I'm happy editing the XML directly

I had an instance of software relying on a file checksum changing to indicate a 'new version' was available (MD5 or SHA-1, I forget which).
Unfortunately a 'new version' had the same checksum as the 'old version', even though I knew for a fact they were not the same. This was borne out by the fact that the file date, and size had changed, and Beyond Compare reported differences.
Interestingly the CRC32 checksums on the two files were different.
