Hi all, I have a related question. I went on vacation for about the last week and a half. When I got back, I found that all my documents had been "locked". Upon returning home, when I opened a document and began to type, I got the message, "this document has been locked because you haven't made changes to it in a while". The while was not all that long, and I hadn't made any changes because I wasn't here to make them. It's been kind of annoying. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn that feature off? TIA, Donna
