Hi there,
This afternoon I began commenting on a student's paper in Word, using Track Changes. I began with the file that her other advisor had commented on, and "saved as" a new file with my initials added (docname-lm+sp-comments.docx). I proceeded to add detailed comments, saving occasionally, and after my printer refused to cooperate, closed the file. I figured why bother wasting paper, I'd have it on the computer.
So then I went to email her the file and it is GONE. Seriously. It is not in her file, nor does it come up when I do a search of ALL my documents. I looked in the Autorecovery file in the Microsoft User Files folder, and NOTHING. Bizarre.
What on earth could have happened? I want to be able to retrieve the work. But I also want to know how to avoid this issue in the future! I am a relatively new mac user.
Thanks so much,
Sonya
