Word document disappeared after saving
I keep a journal and try to update it daily. This morning I updated the journal and got an error message that Normal.dot was being overwritten and did I want to do that? No. Then I got another message that said my file was read only. Hmm. I look again and it says Normal.dot is read only. I click on cancel, and everything closes. Curious, I open my document again--and it can't be found. I looked in temp, Recent, everywhere I could think and the document is gone, though it's listed in Recent. When I do a search it lists the document as 548kb, but when I click on the link, it says it can't be found, and when I click on "open containing folder" there's a shortcut but no document.
I have a backup from a couple of days ago, but since I'd updated the journal I'd really like to find it again. Is there any way to do that?
And yes, I realize World 2003 is an old program, but it's worked for me up to now, and I don't like the newer versions.
