I think "Save a Version" is a new feature in Lion, whereby your Mac will save various versions of your document automatically without you having to manually save the file. Of course, if you want to manually save the file every once in awhile, you can do so. However, Lion is built in such a way that you don't have to be constantly saving your file from time to time. It's merely a change of words, but the function is essentially the same.

If you want to edit a .doc file, open it into Pages. If you want to save that file as a .doc file, EXPORT as a .doc file accordingly.

Thanks for the info!

Hi. Seeking help to see if it's normal.
I cannot seem to get UOB Internet banking and SingPass login page (CPF / HDB / NS)to work on either Safari or Firefox.

I search HWZ and did not seem to find any helpful info that works on my MBP 2011 with Snow Leopard.

Please advise. Much appreciated

Safari and Firefox are working fine for me. I'm on SL.
Safari - v5.05, Firefox - v5.01.

Note: for Firefox, you will need to enable the plugin (Java Plug-In 2 for NPAPI Browsers).

Enabling Java

If Java is not working, make sure that the Java plugin is enabled in the Add-ons Manager tab:

On the menu bar, click on the Tools menu, and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel.
Click on the Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI Browsers to select it.
Click on the Enable button (if the button says Disable, Java is already enabled).

Sleep mode will still use battery, but very minimal. Its the equivalent of standby in Windows.

Guys,

I got a problem with MSN MAC 8.01 with Lion.
How come every login it's asking me to add contacts that I have deleted years back. And even if I reject all those requests, it still comes back after every login. This is my first mac experience so please be gentle with me.

Ha Ha...

Use little snitch or a similar app to monitor your activities
