File Saved to Destkop Lost - Any ideas?
This has happened 4 times with Vista:
A word on the Desktop is opened, modified, saved and closed. Then, the word file is opened but it is showing an earlier version of the file. Any ideas on how to recover the word file and how to avoid this from happening?

What version of Word are you using? How are you opening the Word file on the Desktop? -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Norma" wrote in message ...

Ronnie: The word version we have is: Word 2007 (12.0.6212.1000) from
Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 The file was opened by clicking the icon on the desktop. Thank you. "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Norma What version of Word are you using?

Ronnie - to be more specific, the actual file (not the word application) was
saved on the desktop and the file was opened by clicking on it right on the desktop. Thank you.

Any ideas on how to recover the word file and how to avoid this from happening? I don't pretend to be more than caveperson level with Word, but is it possible that the file is being saved (or Saved As) and the modified file is being saved in your Documents? If this isn't possible, is this a domain computer and possibly set to not allow changes on the Desktop (WAG here). See what happens if you Save As to your Documents instead of to the Desktop and then make a shortcut to the file on your Desktop. These are just speculations because I've not ever seen this sort of thing happen all by itself. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!
