Thanks for the response John. The dilemma you mention of saving the notebook while still in development brings to mind another question, which is somewhat off-topic. I would like to be able to edit a file just before deployment using a script outside of Mathematica. Perhaps an expression search in Workbench, or maybe just using grep in a text editor. The option you mention would be nicely applied with this method, I also might like to apply Editable->False in some cases. I also often edit stylesheets in a text editor. The problem with this is that then I get the error message about the file being edited outside of Mathematica. Is there a way to prevent that error dialog?
