I am the only user of my Windows XP machine at work, and I occasionally
get that message regarding certain documents not saved properly.
I dont want to take chances on loosing a file, so I click on each one,
and SAVE AS slightly changing the file name by adding something to the
end of it, like SAFETY.
It seems to happen to me if I leave documents open in Word, and shut
down my machine.
It is crucial if you truly value your work to back up frequently, and
to keep a series of backups going back some days or weeks.
Very complex Word, or Excel, or Access files can become corrupted,
which would force you to revert to some previous, uncorrupted version.
I call such backups "snapshots". I have Access snapshots and Quickbook
snapshots going back for months. All it costs is a little disk space,
which is cheap nowadays. It is better to be safe than sorry.
I greatly depend upon my Sancor 4 gig memory stick, which I daily wear
about my neck. Backup up regularly with some zip program (I use
WinAce), saves disk space.

Last week, we bought new PCs and are also upgrading from Office 2000
to Office 2007. I have only used Word 2007 a few times and am trying
to get used to the completely new interface.
I just opened a document (A) containing a log of home repairs. The
last time I opened it was 6-8 months ago on the old machines using
Word 2000.
When Word opened, there was a new panel on the left entitled "Document
recovery". Inside is a list entitled "Available files" containing a
single document (B), which is a completely different document. I am
pretty sure that document B has never been opened on the new machine.
What does this mean?
The help indicates that document B had some kind of a problem (wasn't
saved properly). I don't think it has ever been opened on this machine
(just a week old). It has been opened on the old machine since the
files were copied over and there were no errors.
This message has nothing to do with document A, right?
