[QUOTE="Penetrex, post: 1501712, member: 296926"] Well, try using an Android phone without a Google account? When I tried buying some photo software I was given a single 'choice' of buying from the app store - which requires an Apple ID. Now I find almost everything I touched on Win8 was either trying to connect online or demanding my Live ID. Now I find I can plug any old mouse and monitor into a Mac, so I'm not really seeing much advantage to Windows now. For saving multiple files I use this: [url=http://www.gmayor.com/SaveInTwoPlacesAddIn.htm]Save in two places[/url] I just click the save icon in Word and it saves a backup copy to Google Drive with a numbered file name. So if I'm writing something called 'Draft.doc', on Google Drive I end up with: Draft1 Draft2 Draft3 Draft4 etc. Each is a different file, snapshots in time. I've found the hard way that Word;s ".wbk" backup files are just the previous saved version - completely useless if you've hit "Save" twice since it became corrupted. My problem is it doesn't seem to work with the Mac version of Word. I see no extra icon anywhere or any means of using it. [/QUOTE]
