Files not opening how I saved them

[vincent.darren]

I am really getting fed up with this now and I am wondering if anybody
can offer me a solution.

I am doing various different things in Word and Excel. In word working
on documents that involve simple layouts, things like columns and in
Excel I am only working with basic tables. Whenever I save a document
and then come back to it the next day the documents are 'deformed'
compared to how they were when I saved them. The width of columns is
changed, the position of text has moved and it is really annoying me.
Worse still is that last week when I opened an Excel sheet again all
the letters had just changed to the little rectangles.

Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds to me like a font problem. Can you be a little more specific about
what happens?

FWIW I fully agree with Bob G, but there could also be a permissions issue
as well as file system problems. Any other apps/file types affected?

Versions of OS & Office would be helpful as well as system info.
