Office should not allow saving of files in "Temporary Internet Fil

R

Rod

I've lost serveral hours of work on at least two occasions now due to the
followign scenario:
1. I've opened a file from an email attachment in Outlook.
2. Walk away from my computer and do something else.
3. Do some edits to the file, pressed save.
4. Never seen the file again.

Office applications should refuse to save a file when it is in the "\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" folder. Either that or Outlook should
never put the file there in the first place. Horrible design.

Save the file to a non-temporary location if you wish to edit it. In
effect you are editing the screen display.
