Track Changes Dates Reset on Save As in Word 2008

If you regularly use the Save As feature to create new drafts while working in Word 2008, you might notice that with Track Changes enabled, previously time-stamped comments and edits have their times reset to the Save As date and time. Work around this by sticking with your original file, but using Save As (or just File > Duplicate in the Finder) to make backup copies.

 
 

Norton Utilities 3.2

Send Article to a Friend

Norton Utilities 3.2 -- Symantec Corporation has announced the availability of Norton Utilities 3.2 for Macintosh, which enables the disk-recovery and protection package to operate on volumes up to two terabytes in size. (System 7.5.2 supports volumes that large; earlier systems only support volumes 2 GB or 4 GB in size.) Symantec notes that support for volumes larger than 4 GB is the only change in version 3.2, and unless you use volumes larger than 4 GB there's no need to upgrade from Norton Utilities 3.1. For people who need the update, Symantec will send disks for $10 plus shipping and handling, but has no plans to make an updater available online. Updates from versions of Norton Utilities before 3.1 cost $39.95. [GD]
