Saving Word documents
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? -- Peter Turpin Cultural Liaison West Central Integration Collaborative 611 5 St SW Rm 354 Willmar, MN 56201-3218 (320) 231-8573 FAX: 1 (320) 231-8559 |

Words are DOC files, Peter. Are you sure your question isn't about seeing or
not seeing file extensions? ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Peturpin" wrote in message ...

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? -- Peter Turpin Cultural Liaison West Central Integration Collaborative 611 5 St SW Rm 354 Willmar, MN 56201-3218 (320) 231-8573 FAX: 1 (320) 231-8559 "Anne Troy" wrote: Words are DOC files, Peter.

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 Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Peturpin" wrote in message ...

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 -- Peter Turpin Cultural Liaison West Central Integration Collaborative 611 5 St SW Rm 354 Willmar, MN 56201-3218 (320) 231-8573 FAX: 1 (320) 231-8559 "Anne Troy" wrote: Actually, it sounds like your files aren't being saved with a file extension.
