Here is the situation.

Typing up notes
Working off jump drive
Saved repeatedly
Using MS Office test drive
Close file then reopen only to find all my work not there.

I an going to the Genius bar today to see what they can do. Does anyone here have any advice?
 
I am working off the jump drive which is just a portable drive. I am saving my work from that drive. Test drive does allow you to save since I can do it with other files I have worked with. I know where the file is so i dont have to spotlight search it but when I reopen the document the notes I was typing are not there. Is it possible that it saved to another file on my computer somewhere and if so how can restore or find it ?

Isaint aksed u if u searched using spotlight and u said u aint need to. Then proceed 2 want 2 know if it mightve saved it as a different copy somewhere on ya comp. Uh, if u just searched using spotlight, u could find out.

Not familiar w/particular app but if has an autosave feature it might be happening. Try manually saving it 2 jumpdrive also try saving it as a new file if it doesn't do the trick
