I tried this out in ver ~.113, there are a few different scenarios depending on where you start, a new doc, opening an existing doc, inserting a file into a new doc. Without knowing more in this regard I couldn't duplicate the behavior. For an existing document that I open, doing a save just saves the doc to its original name, no dialog box. If I insert a file into a new doc, the save icon brings up the save as dialog box. If I create a new doc, doing a save or save as, I get a save as dialog box. -- Greg Madden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
