Hi Donna, You might want to investigate into Apple Script. This can modify default behaviours for applications. You can introduce your own save as. This is a work around I know.
But even better. You could create a template using apple script. activate the script fill in the bits you want. Save it as the naming convention you want. Learning apple script will take a bit. But is a perfect tool for these types of tasks. Using the right tool for the right job is a motto of mine. Sean On 05/01/2012, at 9:03 AM, Goodin, Donna wrote: > Unless, you're working on a template.
