Anne,

I have been saving to a hard drive and to my desktop, which I then back-up
with a flash disk. So, I have not been saving to a network. The only things
that have changed recently are the following: I have added a new USB keyboard
to my system, I am not able to sign-out of Microsoft Passport when I sign out
of hotmail (it says I am signed-out of hotmail, eventually, when I keep
trying, but it says it can't sign me out of "Microsoft with a Microsoft
Passport"), and I've had trouble with my sleep mode. I used to be able to
but my machine on stand-by, but now when I do that, I can't get it back to
the normal mode without unplugging it, removing the battery from the laptop,
and restarting it.

Please let me know if any of those things could be contributing to this
problem.

Thank you,

Peter Turpin

Actually, it sounds like your files aren't being saved with a file
extension. I don't like the sounds of it at all. Are you saving on a network
or hard drive? Not that it matters, but I'm not at all familiar with network
issues anymore. But it could matter to someone else. Also, what's changed
lately? Anything?

Anne,

No, I'm not so sure that my question isn't about seeing or not seeing file
extensions, because when I had problems saving some Word documents

recently,
some of them got saved as type "File" (appearing with a nondescript logo
containing geometric shapes, I believe) and not as Word documents. Were
those files actually file extensions, then?

Sometimes I have trouble saving Word documents when the file name of a
document I'm trying to save is similar to that of a document I have
already
saved (the content of the documents is also similar, usually).

Sometimes
it
doesn't get saved, and sometimes it gets saved with a ".doc" file
extension.
Can anyone please explain this so that I can avoid the hassle of

getting
things figured out in this situation?
