Word is loosing my work.

J

John W. S. Marvin

I'm using Word 2003 (11.6113.5703), and I keep loosing my
work.

I *think* it has to do with recovered files, but am not
sure.

About 5% of the time, when I load a word file with my
work on it, it finds a recovered version of the same
file. I don't know why, as I had saved, and shut down
without a problem. This never happended on previous
versions of Word for me. Most times, it starts up with a
number (half dozen) of recovered files.

Often I can't find a difference between the recovered and
the file I opened. Then I say, "get rid of the recovered
ones, I'm fine."

Then I open the file later, and I've lost a day's work.
It could be that I didn't check it out better. But why
are saved files not getting saved?

I've lost about five days work in the last few months.

Is there a DIFF I could run when it pops up a recovered
file? Is this a known bug?

thanks,
Nhoj
