[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1230851, member: 46727"] Your post was moved to the correct forum. We ask that you read forum descriptions and Sticky notices at the top of each forum before posting. Thanks for your cooperation. As to the documents that you lost.... Do you have automatic backup turned on? And did you also choose "always make a backup"? Those two options in the "Save" preference are very important for the saving and recovering of documents. Since you did not "name" and save Docs 1-6, it's likely they were overwritten in succession each time you opened a new document. You may be able to recover the last iteration of the document. Look in the default location for recovered files: /Users/You/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 AutoRecovery/ If the document is not there, it's probably lost. [/QUOTE]
