I also read the issue that has been lodged and therefore understand the arguments. However from my perspective it should save a version on closing, even if the document is saved as well - ie, save, then close - version saved.
This, for me, is used to track what has changed in a document over time. By doing so I can check to see what has happened say 4 days ago by selecting the appropriate version. If I only have the recent copy this becomes hard to do. Will wait for the people that have it under control to handle the issue that has been raised. /paul On 5/24/05, Klaus Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Am Montag, 23.
