Do not remove Save button, if you save on those system-significant events only.
If you can implement autosave periodically on change (a better approach), add time stamp in the "Document has been autosaved" message. Seeing the stamp is quite reassuring. In this case you can safely remove Save button. Look at autosave in Google spreadsheet for example. -- Oleh Kovalchuke (816) 808-6177 Skype: tangospring On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 8:31 AM, Chris Braunsdorf <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks for the input.
