A short but very useful article today. Have you created that perfect document that can be reused again and again? But it would all be ruined if you or a co-worker were to accidentally copy over or delete it. The best example of this is letterhead on a mac, but this technique will work with any document.
[dropcap]1[/dropcap]Right click on your document and select “get info” (alternatively, select the document and press ‘command+i’).

That’s it, you’re done! Now anytime that you or a co-worker opens the file, it will automatically create a copy of that document and save it in the same location with ” copy” appended to the end of the name.
