Thanks Suzanne,
You are a life saver. Never even knew this option
existed. I kept thinking I was correcting the problem by
exiting out of the document and then reoppening from the
history menu, but it turns out it is just as you said in
the article. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling
all of office and his palm software since I was "certain"
it had something to do with it. LOL, thanks for the help.
Dave
