Hi Shelly, Fortunately this is very simple. <smile> When you exit the file you will be asked whether to save the document as a keyword file. All you have to do is hit N for no. Don't worry, the file will be saved, and it will be in its original format. Not saving at all is not actually an option, unless you hit exit from the save prompt. If you get tired of being asked about conversion on a specific file you can just hit S for suppress and the pestering will stop, at least in regard to that particular file. Hope your BN will behave better now, Kellie
