one possible reason is this file have macro, go to menu tools|macro|visual basic editor, look to the left side and see if you got a module there, if yes click on it, the right side should show \nSub auto_close()\n'some vb code'\nEnd Sub\nIf you want the file to behave like a normal excel file, delete the code block from Sub auto_close() to End Sub and save it.

Save as | Drop down list choose "Document Template"\nor\nIf you are using word 2003, go to File | New...\nthen go to the right side where it pops up the "new document" sidebar, click "On my computer..." under "Templates"\nNow choose "Blank Document" and on the bottom right of the dialog, choose "create new template"\nThen you'll start a new doc in word that will save as a template when you save it.

You should be able to right click and "save as" if not, copy and paste info to new txt doc.

Whenever you are editing a MS Word document, all the changes you do are stored temporarily as "scrap". \nThis scrap file is deleted automatically when you close your document.\nHowever, if Word crashes before you save it, the scrap file remains in your HDD, which is what you presently see.

This is incredibly easy, and in no way risks the date/time information from being changed, and other correspondents seem to have forgotten this so far. For the benefit of these files being BACKED UP, using an archiving program like compressed files (on Windows 2000 and XP) programs like winzip or any other from a vast number of archiving utilities that can be found online, downloaded and installed, and some of them may even have step-by-step wizards to help and guide you to complete this task.\nUsing one of these will make your data take up less space.\n\nSince MS Windows is a graphical user interface, and as such, anything on the computer can be represented by an icon, and clicking on the icon will either open a file into a program, run a program, or open up a folder. All you have to do is open up the windows explorer, and from there select one of the disks/drives listed in that window, click on one of them and it will allow you to view data/diles there (depending on your set up, it may change in the open window where you are, or open up in another window) having two windows open will be easier.\n\nThis will subsequently list the folders (directories) that are stored on this drive. if you want to make a new one called backup - it may be an idea to give it a different name that you know what it is but no one else will, so not take any notice of it. Open this folder up so it is an open window. Switch back to the original window (say, the folder that represents "My Documents" and so long as both windows are open and visible on the screen, you can use what is called "drag & drop" to move/copy files from one location to another. To select more than one file at a time using the mouse, if all the files are in sequential order then using the mouse select an area round those files and they will be selected.The alternative method if you are being selective about what files you want to move, hold down the -Ctrl- key as you click on each file, and it also becomes selected, and will be highlighted along with other files .\n\nThis is genuinely easier to to than my description might suggest, but be VERY CAREFUL that you don't hit the delete key when more than one file is selected unless you genuinely want to get rid of that file, an easy mistake to make, and easy to recover from by going to your Recycle Bin (get to this from your desktop) and selecting restore files. Equally, be aware of not creating a file called "Copy of document.doc/picture.jpg" etc, because that is one sure as hell way to confuse people when they are doing file back up tasks, and this also doubles up the amuont of space the files take on your hard disk because there would be two of them.\n\n*SIDE NOTE* \nIf you have  only one drive it will be assigned drive letter (C) personally I would always recommend creating a second volume on your hard disk, and this would be one of the reasons for doing so. Incidentally, any CDrom or DVD and CDRewriter will normally be listed as (D) and (E) drives - this is a completely different way of backing up data, and not in the remit of your question. \n*NOTE ENDS*\n\nThis can also be applied to a folder on a network if you are connected to a network. Repeat all instruction as detailed above, with the exception that if you want to access it 9your backed up data) you will have to re-connect to the network, normally automatic when you log in to your computer - speak to your network administrator about this, if this is applicable.\n\nThank you for reading, and I hope this explains and assures you that it is a really easy task, and even a novice computer user can do this.

depends on how you save the data. if you save the data on a thumbdrive, floppy, a CD, DVD or hard drive properly, it is reasonable to expect the files that you create can be accessed when you boot your PC in a windows environment.  The applications may not be identical (Word, Excel, Powerpoint...) but you should be able to see the files and import them after some trial and error...\n\nGood Luck!

Unless your SPSS software creates backup files when you save, then no.  You'll need to look in the folder where your file is saved to see if there is a backup.  Windows itself doesn't create backup files or have any way to revert to previously saved documents as it doesn't do any of this kind of document management or recovery.

After draggin the file into Excel, your database will take only one column.\nSelect that column and go to Data > Text to columns to start the wizard you need to convert it.\n\nXLMan

You do not need a separate program.\n\nOpen the Excel file you wish to save as .csv\nSelect 'Save as' from the file menu.\nWhen the save window opens, select ".csv" from the file type dropdown list (bottom of window). Hit save.\nIt will pop up with two windows saying "Do you wish to save changes .... blah blah" Just say yes to both, should be fine.\nYour Worksheet is now a Comma Delimited file! :)\n\nHope this helps.

The easiest way to do this, that would not require very much programming knowledge at all would be to use the 'Publish as Webpage' feature in excel.\n\nYou can set it so that every time the spreadsheet is updated and saved, it also saves a file, readable by internet explorer, into a folder of your choice. This way you can reference the file in the rest of your site or in a frame or whatever.

If you saved it to a network drive (ie 'cos you're at work) as opposed to your PC's harddisk, then your IT support people might be able to salvage the previous version(s). It depends how they have things configured.\nAlso IF you had Word configured to save backup copies (see Tools-Option-Save tab "always create backup copy" option) then it would have created a *.wbk file in the same directory as the latest version. Don't save again though or you will loose that backup too.

You can save as a .txt document and then open in MS Office. I can't imagine why tho as Pagem aker is so much more versatile.

Just hit CTRL + N.  That will open a new window for you.  Or you can just go to File and then to New and Window.

Its becuase you have saved the information under a different format and the binary conversion rates on the programme when you uploaded the information to the new programme aren't converting properly try using a different version of office or on a different computer to see if the problem occurs or else you may need to install a new version of ms word...

It either needs to be saved in a format that MS word can open, or (I think) saved as a text file.  It's been awhile since I've done this.\n\nThe person who sent it can change the format under Save As on the file menu.  \n\nUnfortunately, Clarisworks is outdated, so you might have difficulties.

Did you have MS Office as a trial version? The trial period may have expired.\n\nYou can open those files using WordPad, Notepad or Openoffice. I would recommend OpenOffice, as I am a big follower of Free Open source applications.
