Hi,
I posted a while ago that I'd lost one of my Word documents with several days of work in it. It's happened again, this time while I was paying close attention. I worked a bit on a file, saved it with cmd + S, pressed the red X to close it down (which it did with no "Don't you want to save?" warning), and then went to email the file. It didn't show up - only the older version. The file is not in "All my files", nor in Library or the recycle bin.
Seriously, this is a pretty massive problem. Last time I posted, a lot of people complained of the same issue, and/or said "Wellll, that's Microsoft for you" (though surely it's a Mac OS issue) or "It'll be faster to write it the second time". Any idea why this happens, and whether it's a known issue? Is it just Word for Mac, or do you similarly lose other types of files? Is there anything I can do, other than manually saving every file multiple times to a load of locations just in case?
Cheers
