Approval Workflow does not start when document in library is edited.

Tags: Microsoft, MOSS, 2007
I have added the Approval workflow template to a document library and in the Start Options have checked "Start this workflow when a new item is created" and "Start this workflow when an item is changed". In the Post-Completion I have checked "Update approval status".

When I add a new document to the document library, the workflow kicks in and I can set the status to Approved. Now if I go to edit the document by clicking the Word document and selecting "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" the workflow doesn't kick in. Same deal with editing the document properties.

How can I get the workflow to start again once the document has been edited?
