I opened a doc from an email and, although I normally choose "Save As",
apparently I didn't this time. I made many changes and clicked the Save
icon
many times along the way. When I was finished and I closed the doc, it
was
gone...no amount of searching helped...I lost EVERYTHING with NO warning
from
Word. As far as I'm concerned, this is a HUGE problem with this
product...I
now have to recreate countless hours of changes. I'm seriously
considering
switching to Corel's WordPerfect because of this.

Is this problem EVER going to be fixed? Or at lease WARN you before you
lose hours of work?

I hate Microsoft's office suite because of issues like this...
