What I've been doing for a long time is putting a letter for the draft as well as a number for the chapter number in the header line. A1 is Draft 1, Chapter 1; H10, is Draft 8, Chapter 10. For instance.<BR/><BR/>On my hard drive, I have a folder for each draft (A through whatever) and a file for each chapter within the draft/folder, which is very much like your Vsn 1.0.<BR/><BR/>And you're right. Those of us who have to do a lot of drafts, learn through painful experience.Gail Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673131515563387968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-81404246550851633542008-11-20T16:42:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:42:00.000-08:00Well, I'm not sure if I can claim to have invented...Well, I'm not sure if I can claim to have invented that. I probably heard it somewhere and just can't remember where.<BR/><BR/>And I learned after many painful missteps that I HAD to rename the online files in some fashion. Especially since I do about seventeen more revisions per novel than you do, Miss Get-It-Right-In-One. (No, I'm not bitter...)<BR/><BR/>So I have Vsn 1.0, 1.1, 2.1 2.4, etc.Robin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960833482145500665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-4683650157313350112008-11-20T16:10:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:10:00.000-08:00I LOVE this idea.

I have to search through the dates and even then need to choose between drafts with the same name, or maybe, if I've been smart the name with a #. I'm going to try these colored drafts. I never heard of this. Once again, you've invented a new revision tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
