[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1066720, member: 56231"] I worked for some years as a proof-reader, so I know the visual stress you're going through. Why the warning dialogue didn't appear, or you didn't see it, could be attributed to a number of things, but it's almost a certainty that both TextEdit and Word do present the warning. Short answer - yes! I tutored Computer Studies, as they used to be known, for ten years, and those keystrokes and other techniques I suggested were used time and time again. Did you know, btw, that you can save a TextEdit document in Word format? It's accessible through the Save As function. It's useful as a backup, which is where this thread began, if I recall correctly, ie. autosave and temporary files, saving changes, losing changes and so on. Save As in Word format leaves the TextEdit document where you last left it, nothing is overwritten. Word format is also more readily compatible cross-platform. [/QUOTE]
