Microsoft Word 2003 Saving Problem

alliann11

6/23/2008 9:04:00 PM

I am having problems with losing information that I am working on. Twice now
I have lost a document I was working on because when I go to save it, and
error an error message pops up asking if I want to continue and save. If I
click no, it takes me to another box where it says:
"File Conversion - Rescued Document - Warning saving as a text file will
cause all formatting, pictures, & objects to be lost." Then below that it
says, "Text Encoding" and I have 3 options: windows default, MS-DOS, other
encoding." Further down it says "allow character substitution". So I chose
the Windows Default option and that took me back to the original box where I
forgot what it asked but I had to choose Yes or No again. So the next time I
checked Yes. Well, it closed out of the document and it just disapeared from
my computer! When I opened up autosave in word, it said "Word has
experienced and error in trying to open the file." Then it gives me some
suggestions (check the file permissions for the document or drive, make sure
there is sufficient free memory & disk space, & open the file with text
recovery converter. I have no idea where the document went! I check the
recycle bin but I guess its gone. The document was saved on a USB drive but
I cannot find it on there anymore. Can you tell me why it is doing this or
what I need to do to fix this problem?
Thanks so much.

First, you need to find an Office/Word group to ask in. This is a .NET
programming group.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/de...

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Office and Desktop
Applications. In Office and Desktop Applications, open the category for
Word, then find a group there to post in.

Ah, but I spy an explanation on that page: "Businesses and schools are not
necessarily closed on Scottish bank holidays".

That's why I've never had that day off: everyone ignores it and goes to
work anyway. We're such lazy spongers in Scotland, aren't we?

Cat. ;o)

The "August" Bank Holiday Monday in 1969 was actually in September.

Only the 1st maybe, but memorable for me because it was the day I came
back from holidays to find how many GCEs I had failed.
