It isn't easy (to me) to understand your intention. Perhaps working with *versions* would be a better solution? Please have a look at the *OpenOffice.org Help* <F1> Index: - version management - versions;comparing documents etc. So you may save different versions in addition to your "current version" (see above - your words) in the same file. Maybe that we misunderstand each other ... ;-) Manfred -- Musical interlude - October 26th, 2008 <http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/10/26/musical-interlude/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
