This does work as you say it should with the exception that OP does not ask me for confirmation either on creating or deleting an autolink. > >>I have just experimented and if I click <select> on the iconbar icon >>then it does as I described ie doesn't create a new page and flow >>automatically but if I click <menu> and select 'new' then it does work >>as expected. >>Is this the normal action? > > I wouldn't think so, but when you click on the icon bar icon you're > create a new copy of the default document (something which you create > and save from the file menu), when you click on 'new' you're creating a > document from scratch. > > So all this may come down to you've created an unusual default document. You are right David and I aologise for wasting your time, if I had thought about it logically I should have looked at my default document first and as you rightly said I have somehow managed to save a different one - I have been changing some master pages lately in documents and I guess I must have clicked on save as default without realising it. Thanks for the replies. For your info, in case anyone else experiences it, I have been getting more than normal crashes with OP lately but have narrowed it down to realising that it only hapens after I have used !SiteMatch and !FTPc so they are somehow clashing with OP - not a problem when you know as I just reset the machine every time after I have updated mny website. -- JayCee
