I have been using the drawing tool of MS Word 2003 to draw a map/outline of each chapter of my book, one page per chapter/outline. I’ve been going page by page developing this outline for a few weeks. Yesterday, I went to scroll through the outline and to my horror, 24 chapters/outlines were missing from the middle of the file. I haven’t any idea where they went nor how they got sent there.

Microsoft currently does not provide utilities for recovering Word documents which have been deleted, or emptied from the trash bin, and formatted. However, the Mac bought after Nov, 2007 has a backup utility- Time Machine. The graphics in my document have turned into red X's! Occasionally when you open a document that contains graphics, some of the graphics may be displayed with a red X covering part or all of the space required for the graphic.

You can check where it is trying to save by going to 'save as' and if it's a different location than the shared drive, navigate to the shared drive manually and attempt a save. Is my best guess:) It does create the temp file. I believe the issue is when it tries to save from this temp file and overwrite the original. If they manually choose the location and choose the network drive it says 'document not saved'. Most of the time it will not allow to save anywhere but occasionally they can save to their local desktop. I suspect the temp file may be becoming corrupt for whatever reason.

By Dec 06,2017 15:51 pm We always use Word or Pages on Mac to build documents. But sometimes the word documents might get lost or cannot be saved and come with error codes. These might cause by Microsoft Word document corruption, Word files deleted by mistake from Mac and trash emptied; USB drive or other storage devices which stored your Word documents formatting; and some other unknown reasons. When this happened, how can we recover Word document? And how to get these deleted Word documents back on Mac? What you should do is stop to do anything, just find Mac Word document recovery software to retrieve all your lost Word document data back.

Table is formatted to put all text at the top. They are consecutive pages so it isn't a folio verso thing. I copied the misbehaving likes to Notepad to strip hidden formatting, put them back, and they jumped to the bottom of their respective pages. 2ND FOLLOW UP: Word 2013 is either buggy or there is a demon in the online template I chose. I solved the last remaining problems by setting a specific (exactly, not at least) row height for each row and set each to allow breaking across pages. On the second page, the table rows went out of bounds, as if I'd set different R and L page margins. Broke it into a second table to see if that would help.

Server 2012 R2 / Hyper-V based network, Windows 8 and 8.1 workstations, large Excel 2013 file of payroll information stored on a network drive. When user clicks the Excel save icon, sometimes it saves, sometimes it doesn't. This intermittent problem can be duplicated. There is no indication of the save's success or fail in Excel. For now, my user is checking the network drive to make sure the file's date and size change. I work for a company that stores data on a number of network locations and many of the users update files but do not have the delete permission in those folders. After digging into this I found that this only happens when they don't have the delete permission in that folder.

The first couple of times, I got the original document back and it seemed to work fine until I tried to italicize again. Then it hung again. However, something much worse has happened now. My saved version labeled 18:44 (time) with the corrections and comments, has vanished! It’s not in Finder as it was the first couple of times I tried after the hang.

Windows can’t normally read Mac-formatted drives, and will offer to erase them instead.

Windows can’t read this file system by default, but there are ways to read that HFS+ drive from Windows. How to use a PC-formatted drive on the Mac Macs can easily read PC-formatted hard disk drives.

I am still searching for a fix on this. I have disabled the AV thinking that this is one of the factors that may of caused the problem, but the problem still exist. Oh, I remember another one that got me some time ago also. If you keep re-opening a file with an identical name from an email it will create a temp file with the same name and a version number at the end that stops working after 99 attempts. I don't think this stops you from saving the document, more stopping you from opening it, and it is from an email in outlook only. Another more relevant thought: are these users on wireless?
