(Mis)named "File>Revert to Saved" (and greyed out if there is no change to the open document). So, to update to the file version, * make sure there are no valuable changes in the open document. * do a "dummy change". * Go to File>Revert to Saved * A warning pops up, saying "All changes will be lost ..." Think twice but be brave: actually only changes to the buffered document will be lost, while changes to the saved version would be overwritten if you saved your "dummy change". Select [Revert] (again misnamded in this case, should be [Update]) and press Enter. There is a very old bugreport about this issue already, maybe closed as wontfix or rejected. Günter
