MS Word not saving documents.?

Question

Hi there,
The problem i have now is that im running windows xp pro.
And have an Admin account and a guest account.
When i save documents in the Admin one everything works great. But when i save in the guest account nothing happens. I go to File>Save As. and nothing appears neither i can find the doc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Well the window that should appear when you click "Save As" so you can choose the destination doesnt appear at all. Nothing happens. But in Admin account it works just fine.. WHY?

Plus i did a full installation of the software.

Answer 1

Because it's easy to set up multiple user accounts in Windows XP (and probably Vista), the Guest account may have restrictions on it. One of them may have to do with not creating accounts.

Letting the Guest account run is also considered a security risk.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

If you do not indicate where to save (path)
give the file a name and select a type, the file will go to My Documents - which is default.

You may have saved - try looking in My Documents. If the file is not there, run a search.
Start
Search
for File or Folder

Enter a word or two that is unique to the filename or text of the file. It just might show up.

Answer 3

its on the settings of microsoft word.. i would recommend that you reinstall ms word and read carefully.. be sure that you will choose complete installation..
