When minisaves occur. When SuppressAutosave is off (the PageMaker default state), PageMaker performs a minisave if you:

Paste.
Modify a setting in the Document Setup dialog box and click OK.
Insert or delete a page.
Move to another page or click current page icon.
Autoflow text.
Display the Indents/Tabs ruler.
Display the Define Styles dialog box or use the PStyleBegin/PStyleEnd commands.
Create a table of contents or index.
Switch between views (story editor and layout).
Close or switch from the Find, Change, or Spelling dialog boxes back to a story that has changed since last save or minisave. (No minisave occurs if the story has not been placed.)
Switch to another story in story editor that has changed since the last minisave. (No minisave occurs if the story has not been placed.)
Resize the story window of a story that has changed since the last minisave. (No minisave occurs if the story has not been placed.)
Change all instances of a search item using either the PChangeAll command or the Change All button in the Change dialog box.

The PageMaker default. The PageMaker default state is with the minisave feature turned on.

Caution: Always turn off PSuppressAutosave at end. Always turn off the PSuppressAutosave command before returning control back to PageMaker. This command has no menu equivalent, so the user would need to run a script to return PageMaker to its default state. The automatic minisave feature is a safeguard for users and allows them to recover work since the last save or minisave.

Example. The following example suppresses automatic minisaves.

PSuppressAutoSave(true);
