Re: I cannot save changes made to word files

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


I understand that I am not a computer geek or something but this
configuration of my computer has been since the time I bought it which
was 2 yrs back. I have been working on this configuration since 2 yrs
and I know exactly where am I saving my files.

Also, I have observed this problem only in the last 2 weeks.

I would appreciate if you could send in a response that will help
instead of commenting on my computer capabilities.

Thanks.

There are two possibilities here:

1. Your copy of Word is misbehaving and not saving the changes you made, or

2. You don't really understand what you've done with your unusual computer
configuration, and your files are not saved where you think they are.

Given that "My desktop is partitioned into 2 drives" doesn't make sense (you
can partition a drive; the desktop you see at any one time is a folder on
*one* drive), option 2 is the more likely. Your observation about the last
modified dates rather confirms it.

My desktop is partitioned into 2 drives with 1 drive on win 98 and the
other winxp.

Last week I made changes in a couple of word files in my "My Documents"

both in win 98 and win XP. This week when I opened the files, they were

the same. The changes that I had made were just not there. I have saved

all the files while making these changes.


I tried making some changes and saving these files again and restarted
the computer. Again the changes did not get saved.


The properties for the document give an old date for last modified on.


Please Help!!!
