What you need is of site disk mirrors. ;-) Actually, OO supports autosaves and backups. Using both those options will greatly reduce risk. Incidentally, many years ago, I was editing a long document on a VAX 11/780, when the computer crashed (That was the only time I ever saw that happen!). After the system rebooted, I watched as all my keystrokes, after the latest save, replayed, including corrections. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
