[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1058980, member: 112842"] Combo is short for combination, that is, using more than one key at the same time to execute a function. In your example, Command-+(really =) makes text larger in Safari. I explained alias above. Not sure if there's a difference between duplicate and copy, but a copy would give you a second, well, copy of something. In order to save a copy in the same folder as the original, you'd have to give the second one a different name. You would use the alias if you only want one of a file, not two or more, but you wanted to be able to access the file from a location other than where you want to keep it. For instance, you have a file in Documents that you use often. You could put an alias on the Desktop so you don't have to open the folder to open the file. I generally make a copy of a file if I want a slightly different version, or sometimes just to have the same formatting. In the latter case, I'd just select all and delete, then start over to build the file. [/QUOTE]
