Data Loss in Publisher

[Valezri]

Hi

I run a W2k network in a school. I have Office Group Policies in place
forcing the default save location for Publisher documents (Office XP version)
to the pupil's home folders. All my PCs are identical (ghost images).
Pupils have roaming profiles (some mandatory).

Some users save work in Publisher and the next time they log on to the
network and open the saved file, it's contents have gone! There is nothing
exceptional about the affected users' user accounts and they have a mixture
of mandatory and roaming profiles.

Has anyone come across this problem before?

Thanks

Unlike other Office applications Publisher does not do well on a network. The
solution would be to save locally and then copy to the network.
