rec'd a doc in word 2003 format as a web based email attachment. Opened it
with my word 2007, no problem. Spent over 5 hours editing the doc with no
problems.
Husband sat down and hit "close" and answered "yes" when prompted if he
wanted to save the changes. Looked like there was no problem.
Can't locate the doc with changes ANYWHERE. Not in recent docs, word
history, searches thru hidden files, subfolder, temp internet files, etc.
Tested what hubby did and it definitely looks like the doc gets saved but
apparently to nowhere.
If I use the word 2007 to create a doc it saves perfectly by closing with
the "close" route or "save as".
I open the original attachment doc, edit slightly and it saves fine when I
chose "save as" but if I chose "close" and answer yes to save changes, I
can't locate anything.
No warnings, no errors...looks like the changes are saved but I can't find
them anywhere.
Microsoft won't answer an email but I've heard they don't when their
products are fundamentally flawed.
I know how to recover thru DOS but know enough to be aware that I'll
probably only geta partial recovery at best and that's a waste since I have
the original unedited doc anyway.
