Hi Arnaud, By doing so, you have to be aware of a fact (if it's relevant for what you're doing).
If you change your text, then simply switch to the Finder to make anything and then switch back, the remembered text will be the one after the switch (because the Activate event is called not only when a document is opened, but also when the window is simply brought to the front). Same fact apply if you simply move to another edit field (assuming there is more than one) and then come back to your target edit field.

I realized that and had corrected it before reading your post, thanks still. >> and the got focus for changes in an already open document. >You're certainly doing something I don't understand here. OK, what happens here is that I do not know how to do undo multiple times (any advice?). So, I use got focus to remember the text before I do further changes. Then, if I make some more changes (and once I do not lose focus), Undo will take me back to the point before i got focus. Works for me for now until I become more proficient.
