Yesterday I did some of my best work ever (of an academic nature) on a
new Acer laptop using a trial Office 2007 version of WORD. I worked
for seven hours straight. I saw the Autosave feature kick in every ten
minutes; I worked as I have never worked in a long time.
At 12 (noon), I saved the file in 2003 format, then wanted to transfer
the file to a flash drive to take it to the university where I work. I
was perplexed but not immediately stunned to find the date/time stamp
stating the file was two days old...the original file, prior to the
seven hours of editing.
Ultimately, I found an ASD file. I opened it. By this time, the
suffering quotient was out the roof; it got higher when I saw that the
ASD file, as the file saved on the hard drive, was the original, not
the seven hour labor.
I am scared, stunned, furious. I did nothing to make this happen. If I
had used a twelve year old P3 with Office 2003, this wouldn't have
happened. I know it, because nothing like this has ever happened since
I've used Microsoft products starting with Windows 3.1.
If there is any help or remote assistance anyone here can direct me to
in order for this nightmare not to remain, I'd appreciate a response
greatly. To repeatL this is a new laptop, with a trial version of
2007, which I was using only because I have to use it at the
university. Ironically, I had debated uninstalling it before my full
day of writing and installing the older software.
Thank you.
