Cathy, Sherry, Ron and Jenny:
I first copied the original file using the save as, then made the
changes to the new file. When I went back to see the original file, it
too had changed to match the new file (easy to tell the change as the
original file had several more columns in the index view than the new
file did; after deleting those columns in the new file and then going
back to look at the original file, those columns were missing in the
original file as well.)
I asked Sherry for help and am eagerly awaiting what she can come up with.
BTW, I'm using the latest updated version 6.
I may be missing the point here but if you are just creating different files in order to show
differences in the screen views, you are doing it the hard way. It would be much easier to start
with the first view you wish to show them and make a screen shot of it. Save that one as
File_View_1.jpg (or tiff or bmp or gif whatever is your preferred format.) Then make your first
change and take another screen shot and so on, naming them sequentially. Save them all to the same
folder, say \presentation\. Then use a program like irfanview which will allow you to display the
images as a slide show. With Legacy running in the background it is an easy matter to use alt-tab
to switch between the two programs as needed to answer questions. If you are really ambitious you
can use power point or open office to make a proper presentation. Much cleaner and faster than
having many files to manage.
