Use
I was working on a Word doc and saved consistently, but soon realized that it was just saving the open Word document to some ether land and not to an actual apparent location.This sounds like a known bug in Microsoft Word, rather than a problem specific to OS X's Mail.app. If you receive a Microsoft Word document as an e-mail attachment in OS 9.x, it is saved to whatever folder you have designated as your attachments folder (I am thinking of Eudora as an example of the e-mail application). If you double-click on the icon that shows up in your e-mail message, the Word document opens normally. However, to make changes to that document, you must choose "Save As..." from the File menu and save the document to a different file. Otherwise, any changes to the document will "evaporate," leaving you high-and-dry. Best wishes, Clint
