Word 2007 Doesn't Save Though It Says It Does

[M H Jowher]

I edited on my PC [Windows XP] a .docx file prepared using Tables on another
PC [Windows Vista]. I kept saving it frequently on a network drive served by
Win2003 Server, and quit. Later when I opened it I found to my horror that it
had not saved anything. Indeed its time had also not changed.

For a trial I opened and re-edited it, saved and quit. Yet the same things
happens. Save any number of times, it says it saves, but it doesn't. I have
the document with me to send it to you.

Looks like you used the MS Discussions route which is notoriously confusing.
As a result you wound up in the news group for Mac Word. I also have a
sneaking suspicion that the cause is a network error rather than a Word
issue, but you can get to the correct PC group via this page:
