IIRC, last year I modified the code a bit so that the output file name does not have straight double quotes contained in that/those of the target documents. Again IIRC, the purpose of the change was to fix a bug reported by Hamid. Usually you don't use double quotes in a file name but the file which caused an error to the previous version of the macro had been saved using a file name suggested by NWP. I really don't like that feature. Once Martin said he would add a Pref option to turn it off but it seems he forgot it...

Very often I write a wrong date in my real life. So I avoid typing it as far as possible. When I have changed the code, I add or change a revision number and I think I seldom commit a mistake regarding sequential numbers. If you need a date, add it yourself.
