Message: [QUOTE="CliffordSF, post: 5409305"] Suzanne, Thanks for the prompt response. I did a number of tests to try to figure out what is going on, similar, it seems, to your own. I agree -- it doesn't seem to matter whether you've saved the file or not as newly created files behave the same way. I can leave the file open, out of focus, and the edit time won't be updated for the first few hours. It seems that it only gets updated after a lot of time has elapsed. Hmm...there should be somewhere where we can find out what actually triggers Word to consider the file in edit mode again. The only guess I have is that something is going on in the background that triggers the return to edit mode. Initially, I thought it might be a save by the automatic backup feature, but mine is set to do so rather frequently, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. I'm gonna keep poking, and asking questions, because if this can be made to actually work, it would be invaluable in many, many situations. Your response has got me thinking about focus -- does returning the file to focus, even for the briefest amount of time, cause it to consider itself in edit mode again? How about 3-D flip? Is that enough to make the file think it's being worked on again? Maybe someone on the Word team, who's responsible for this feature, will chime in. Man, that would be cool (: Gotta run -- my cat, who is toilet trained, just used the toilet and he's giving me that look that says, "I just done good, didn't I?" Cliff [/QUOTE]
