[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1067368, member: 56231"] In hindsight I note I didn't include the instruction that pressing Return cancels the Cmd-Z function. In other words, you have to see/realize the error you made and press Cmd-Z right away. Word is much more accommodating with the Cmd-Z function, and 'remembers' further back than TextEdit. For sure. Probably. I've just checked TextEdit 1.3 Prefs, and I note that I'm using Default settings, which delete the backup file. I can only assume that happens when I save a document manually. Word is a very powerful/useful text processor, but I agree somewhat with your reservations, in my case/experience the way it tries to second-guess and sometimes preempt one's intentions. Formatting and spell check are but two examples. Working one's way thoroughly through the Preferences I've found to be helpful. Why Word should keep asking you for your security code puzzles me. Is there not a dialogue and check box that says something like 'don't ask me again'? [/QUOTE]
