You figure that the newly saved FileA.fm is identical to FileA.backup.fm because you had FrameMaker make a "backup" upon saving, right. Wrong. FileA.backup.fm is the *original* file that you opened, *before* you made any changes to it. The "backup" is always one set of changes behind the content that a real backup would have in it. (And since Frame won't even let you do a Save unless you've changed *something*, the current saved version and the "backup" can *never* be identical.) So rolling back to the automatic "backup" will actually lose you the last set of changes that were in your last save.<br><br>-Fred Ridder<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>You are currently subscribed to framers as <a href="mailto:sp14@leximation.com">sp14@leximation.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Send list messages to <a href="mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com">framers@lists.frameusers.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>To unsubscribe send a blank email to<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com">framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>or visit <a href="http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/sp14%40leximation.com">http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/sp14%40leximation.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>Send administrative questions to <a href="mailto:listadmin@frameusers.com">listadmin@frameusers.com</a>.
