One is in a folder, labeled for the book I'm working on. Then, the file with the same name is in the documents folder itself.
I found the problem by working on the file one day, and the next, opening it. I found the changes were missing.
I did some digging, and found the file in the book folder last accessed the day before. The one in the documents file was last accessed two days before.
I think when I hit control-save throughout my session, that is is saving to the original location. Or not. I can't tell.
Therefore, I am working on stuff, losing it, continuing on...then overwriting it, apparently.
I'm not sure how this can happen, exactly.
All I know is, scenes I know I wrote are missing. This is maddening and really depressing.
I save it to One Drive, also. But am I still doing the same thing?
I will have to compare the two files, and try to see which one has the most scenes. At any rate, that's a lot of work.
Does anybody know anything about this? I can add a screenshot to better illustrate what I mean if I need to.
If I stop quick saving, and always use the drop down to "save as" and then overwrite, will that stop this weird problem?
The document was originally created in Word 2007.
