Unsaved Changes Are Lost In A Word Document When Logging Off PC
Oct 14, 2011
When our users log off one of our departmental images, and they haven't saved their work in Word, as the machine logs off, they are asked if they want to save their work (as I would expect), but rather than being given the opportunity to say "yes", Word is instead just closed down, and the machine logs off.
Usually, I would expect it to wait a moment, then show the "waiting for programs to close" black window. This is what I want - but I'm not given that option - the system just logs off, and any unsaved work is lost!
Now - I know - the obvious answer is to tell the users to save the damn work before they log off - however, the users are kids, and worse, teaching staff... so asking them to do anything sensible is a bit of a waste of time!!!
I've looked at the "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" in the registry, and have tried increasing the timeout to 30 seconds, but it appears to make no difference at all.
I have a problem in my PC I use Windows 7 Ultimate and I have lost my New Microsoft Word Document Shortcut on my Right Click Context Menu. insert New Microsoft Word Document Link into Context menu.
I had a document I was working on and for one reason or another, my computer was restarted unwillingly. Anyway, once my computer had restarted and I opened MS office word 2010 I noticed the recovery panel contained my document along with several others , however without thinking I clicked on the down arrow and accidentally chose 'don't save'. The file was sent to the recycle bin after this point and given a computer generated filename starting with 'wr' and I restored the item, although when I restored the file I was not able to determine where its new location might be.
I got done after writing this document for three weeks...Suddenly (today), my document appears to be blank. I didn't download anything..Didn't go on any porn sites (surprisingly), or anything. In fact I didn't go on anything after I finally finished my document, which was finished yesterday.[URL]When I highlight the document, it appears to be words there, it's just nothing shows up. It's as if all my text is white. However, the text is clearly black.
My fiance uses a word document to store all of her user accounts and passwords for them. I finally had her put a password on her word document file. BUT, I know this is easy to crack and want to know the most secure way to keep her accounts and passwords safe from snooping nerds like me, Does any have a very secure way to encrypt a word file? OR any other software to use to add the accounts in to encrypt?
I opened a word 2010 document from an email in windows live mail desktop version and made some lengthy changes. Now I cannot find the document on my windows 7 system anywhere.
when I wanted to save my word closes and now lost all my work i have typed normally there would show a window of my last working files that it can bring some of it back before the 10minutes but cant find that window that pop's up anymore.
I save a new document using either Save or Save as and it reacts as normal but then is not anywhere in Documents folders. The Find function does not locate it but it is still in the recently opened files section of Word. Thta is until 4 more files are opened. I tried saving changes to existing documents which works but document does not go to today's date as formerly.
Recently I have problem using "save" command in MS Word.Every time I want to save my doc, a message appears "Word can not complete the save due to a file permission error".Fyi, I can save my doc with "save as" command.
My girlfriend was using an email service on IE and opened a document (via IE) and worked on changes, all the while clicking the save icon to save progress.Where on the hard drive are these files typically saved? We've since tried to re-open the file after shutting down the computer and can't find it anywhere.

How can I recover a document that word doesn't even acknowledge as ever having existed? The document disappeared. I hit a key which I thought was to delete a phrase, heard an empty clunk sound, the document disappeared and in its place was the original. Word did not save a back-up and a computer search came up empty.
I downloaded a file from email, worked on it while saving it every few minutes. Save the final copy. Then closed it. Can't find it anyplace. Microsoft Word Auto Recovery is not showing it any place. Search the date for files modified, it doesn't show anyplace. I was working in Microsoft Word 2010 on my laptop. This document is very important.

'm an aspiring author, so I use Microsoft office Word 2010 quite a bit on my laptop. I tried adding properties to my latest document such as Author, and my computer kept coming back to me with the error code 0x80004005. I know that the properties aren't exactly a big deal on a word document, but I'm trying to figure out how to fix my various computer issues whenever they come up.

How do you change what icon appears for a microsoft word document, while using windows 7. In windows XP you could go to "file type" tab in the folder option and choose what icon you wanted to appear for any file type. How do you do that in Windows 7.
I have a Samsung Netbook (wireless) and would like to download a word document which is stored on a USB drive. The netbook uses Windows 7. Can this document be downloaded to the netbook permanently so that I don't have to insert the USB drive each time I use it?
I sent myself an email with a word document attached. I did this so I could finish the editing at home. I opened the attachment, edited the word document, then saved it when prompted when I closed the document. Where did I save the document? I can't find it.
I am wondering if i should send in a petition to MS on this. I wonder if I overlook things and if it's a reasonable RFC.
1.) Opened a attatched Word document in Outlook webaccess (OWA) 2007 2.) Modified the docoment (2 hours of work in this case ) 3.) Clicked the Save button and closed the document 4.) Realized myself it was saved in some tempfolder... 5.) Started looking for it by doing the same action (with same document...) 6.) Step 5 has probaply overwritten my work
Now why does IE9 overwrite (assuming step 6 is true) the file with exactly the same name? Normally it suffixes something like "(1)". I am suggesting MS should make a change in OWA (still used alot) and/or IE9 that a tempsaved file cannot be saved modified by a user again in a tempfolder. I am pretty much done with the fact this is still possible. It is also a nasty thing in business environments where you don't have access to folders like these.and why are the Temporary Internet files subfolders not visible in explorer. Only visible by pasting in the full pathname.
