Twice this week I've been working all day on WD2000, which
I have set to autosave very frequently (I'm a writer, and
have learned to be obsessive about saving), and have
encountered late on these two occasions error messages,
when I go to manual save, telling me that I can't save the
file I'm working on because I'm attempting to save it
under a file name that's already open. This is not the
case, and trying to come out of Word causes it to crash.
When I go to open the file I've been working on all day
(here's the real problem) I find that none of my auto or
manual saves have taken. Norton registers no over-writing
of backup files, and files saved with alternate file names
(in order to get around the error message) are empty
(files size 0KB). The second time it happened, I manually
copied and pasted the contents of the file into a
completely new file; that too was empty when I went to
open it.
I ran an autofix of Word after the first time it
happened. It happened again anyway.
Any thoughts?
