Point taken, Suzanne - but, if you re-read what I said, it was prefaced with
"IF"!
I was addressing your attitude.

The more I think about your response, the angrier it makes me. It is so
patronising, so unhelpful and even arrogant.
If that attitude is how Microsoft sees such issues, the end is nigh.
Customers don't have to do what theyr'e told - it is the 21st century!
Peace.

Dear Suzanne
I think your comment "none of the options will protect you from your
own
imprudence, laziness, or folly!" is both unhelpful and misses the main
point.
This software is used so often by so many and it seems most of us have
been
caught by this happening at one time or another.
Why on earth not fix it?! Isn't "user-friendly" part of the plan?
Wouldn't that be a wINwIN SOLUTION?!
Thanks

I have recently lost some Word docs, despite having autosave set
to 1
minute.
Journal was switched off, so no joy there.
Any ideas?!
Thanks a million.
