[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

I wouldn't know - I'm not a Microsoft employee. MVPs are volunteers.

Fortunately they are fast learners, so we've been able to minimize
problems
like this for the most part. The salary here is not really something to
envy;
espcially compared to a microsoft salary perhaps!

cheers

envy you having to work with computer-illiterate folks on it.

Thank you this is very helpful. Part of the problem is that they hardly
know
how to read Chinese, so when they receive prompts from the Chinese
version
of
XP, they click "yes" or "no" etc. indiscriminately... Anyways, thanks
again
for the prompt reply.

reference, had he *NOT* closed Word, he could have done multiple undos
and
get back to where he started. Once you close Word, you're pretty much
sunk.

Since this seems like an important project, get into the habit of
making
daily backup files and store them on some sort of removable media.

I am in rural China supervising a textual archive project where a
group
of
Tibetan monks, most of of which have never used a computer, are
inputting
Buddhist texts into Microsoft Word. Recently, one of the monks
mistakenly
saved a Word document using the same name as document he already had
saved
previously. When asked if he wanted to replace the current document,
he
clicked "yes" and, as a result, lost all of the work that he had put
into
the
original document (about 4 full days worth of input). Is there any
way
at
all
that he can somehow recover his previous work?
