the file vanishes!
....I hope someone can shed some light on what may be not a Word
problem. Simply, I was typing away in Word 2002 when the computer made a small noise and - my file disappeared. Word stayed open but the doc was gone. This happened on a new Acer Aspire N270 Netbook with a 1gb Atom processor and 160gb HD. The Word isn't the one it came with on trial but one I installed. At the time the battery wasn't installed. I'm told that if you run it with the adapter and house current while the battery is fully charged, the life of the Li-on battery is reduced. However, I don't think this was a power fluctuation because nothing flickered or wavered etc. I reopened the original doc. It was still there. Then I I went looking for a temp version of the file and fooled with the 'recover file' line in the document-type space and eventually found something with the file name preceeded with a squiggle. When I opened it, I got my own name repeated three times. Should I not have reopened the original before hunting up the temp? The autosave was on and set for ten minutes. I wasn't sure if it had saved anything on the original doc or not. I did loose work, tho. Any idea what happened? is my hard drive acting up? I don't see this happening to others when I search but my worry is that this might happen again. And yes I am doing a LOT of saving... thanks for reading this far, folks, and fire away - dax |
