Save As is overwriting other files in Word 2003

C

Carol Hightshoe

I'm a writer and I often will open a previous document and delete the text in
order to preserve certain formatting aspects in a new document.

I recently found that some of my files, when I do this and then save the new
document with a new name under the save as option, are actually saving the
new file and overwriting the previous file.

I created a flyer for the publisher I work for and when I emailed a copy of
it to him he couldn't open it. Figuring the probkem might lay in the
graphics, I stripped those off and did a save as and renamed it as flyer1.
Word overwrote the original program as well as saving the new one. I closed
the new one and went back into the original and reinserted the graphics and
resaved it - opened the second file and Word had overwritten it as well.

There is probably some setting I have screwed up - but I can't find anything
in the help information to point me in the correct direction - any help
anyone here can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Also if you have any other ideas on why emailed docs with attachments are
not being able to be opened by another person (also using 2003) that would be
appreciated as well.

I tried saving them as .rtf to email and I couldn't get them to save.
