Well, I know I have a different version because I opened a student
workbook that I have been working on and found a few differences. The
document had three placed images where I had scaled and tweaked the
position of the image in the frame. In each case the scaling and
position was different. Easily fixed, but that tells me that I do have
the new April 15 version.

The bad news is that autosave is still going off. :(
