I think you are right. It seems to be a bit strange. When I save a document during my session, there is no version saved, but if I don't save it at all (what I shouldn't do), try to leave without saving, I am 'honoured' by having a new version. To be true I didn't realise that the behaviour was the same in the old version (1.1.3 and 1.1.4). -- Klaus Schneider [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
