… but here’s something you can do to make today a little bit better, and it will only take you about 30 seconds.

Weather’s getting really nice these days. Makes one think about getting out to the golf course. Of course, we need to see a specialist first so we can dust off those golfing skills.

Back in 2006, PC World assembled this list.

Number one on the list just netted $687 million for Microsoft.

Moral of the story: There’s “worst” and then there’s “worst.”

Here’s a question about Word that’s baffling me:

Let’s assume you’re working in a document called document-changes-tracked on your computer. As the document name indicates, you’re tracking changes.

Now let’s assume you save the document on your local machine. You save it as document-changes-tracked, but you keep the document open.

Next, you accept all the changes in the document and do a “save as,” saving the document as document-changes-accepted.

You should have two versions of the exact same document on your hard drive, one with changes tracked and one with changes accepted, right?

Wrong.

For some reason I still don’t understand, document-changes-tracked reverts to some previous-to-the-save version. Which makes no sense to me. If the file has been saved, why would it revert to some sort of pre-saved version?

I would think that once document-changes-tracked is saved, that’s the new default version of the document. Why would a subsequent “save as” procedure have any effect on that saved document?

Can anyone shed and insight into this?

You could do much worse today than to spend your lunch hour (plus eight minutes) watching this Marx Bros. classic. Fast forward to the 46-minute mark if you want to watch the mirror scene (don’t ask who cleaned up all the broken mirror shards, just go with it).
