I cannot save changes made to word files
My desktop is partitioned into 2 drives with 1 drive on win 98 and the
other winxp. Last week I made changes in a couple of word files in my "My Documents" both in win 98 and win XP. This week when I opened the files, they were the same. The changes that I had made were just not there. I have saved all the files while making these changes. I tried making some changes and saving these files again and restarted the computer. Again the changes did not get saved. The properties for the document give an old date for last modified on. Please Help!!! |

I cannot save changes made to word files
There are two possibilities he
1. Your copy of Word is misbehaving and not saving the changes you made, or 2. You don't really understand what you've done with your unusual computer configuration, and your files are not saved where you think they are. Given that "My desktop is partitioned into 2 drives" doesn't make sense (you can partition a drive; the desktop you see at any one time is a folder on *one* drive), option 2 is the more likely. Your observation about the last modified dates rather confirms it. "nsurati" wrote in message ps.com... My desktop is partitioned into 2 drives with 1 drive on win 98 and the other winxp.

I cannot save changes made to word files
I understand that I am not a computer geek or something but this configuration of my computer has been since the time I bought it which was 2 yrs back. I have been working on this configuration since 2 yrs and I know exactly where am I saving my files. Also, I have observed this problem only in the last 2 weeks. I would appreciate if you could send in a response that will help instead of commenting on my computer capabilities. Thanks. Jezebel wrote: There are two possibilities he 1.

No offence intended, but it's hard to diagnose the problem if you're unable
to explain it. The description you give makes no sense: your desktop is NOT partitioned into two drives. As I said, either Word is misbehaving (which, on your description, is unlikely), or more likely -- on the information you've provided -- it's an operator error. It's also conceivable that your file system has gone wrong, but this is unlikely in the absence of error messages (which you would presumably have mentioned). But not a Word problem, in any case.
