I'm not sure why you'd want to keep the "Total Editing Time". It doesn't tell you anything about how long the documents was actually being worked on, only how long it has been open between saves. You could open a document, do 5mins editing today, and another 5mins tomorrow (without closing in between) and the total editing time could show as more than 24hrs... I have a 6-page document that consists on little more than content copied & pasted from a couple of websites. Because of how long it has been open between saves (as distinct from being edited), the total editing time shows as 932 minutes (15.5hrs). In any event, re-saving the file via Save As resets the value to 0.
