MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008Lost files in Office Home and Student 2007
The last document I enter into Word is not being saved to my disk. The others that I work on prior to the last one all appear to be on the disk. I save the document multiple times while working on it but not even my first draft is recoverable the next day. The file is listed in Recent Documents in Word but when I go to retrieve it from the disk, it is gone. Does anyone have any idea why the last file worked is not being saved to the disk? This is very frustrating and any help would be GREATLY appreciated Thank you. Sharon From "the disk"? Do you mean your hard drive or are you saving directly to some sort of removeable media?

You should always save the file to your hard drive, work on it, save it, close it, and then copy it over to your removable media with Windows Explorer or by burning it with your CD-burning software. Unfortunately this lesson may well be too late for you.

That's a good thing. :-) SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" > Thank you so very much, JoAnn.

If so, it is being saved to at Temp folder. Instead of opening the attachment, save it to your document folder before opening. At the very least, Save As to the document folder immediately after opening. SignatureSuzanne S.
