What you need to do is to go to the "Commands..." item in the Edit menu. Go to the item on the list called "Fast Save Enabled." Add this item to a menu and then make sure there is not a check mark on the menu item. When "Fast Save Enabled" is checked you get a fast save, when it's not checked you get a complete save. -- Dana E.
