A while back I posted a thread about a problem I was having in AppleWorks where I would edit an existing document, save it, close it, and then when I re-opened the document none of my changes were saved. I sort of found a way to replicate this problem.

(1) Create a new word processing document in AW;
(2) type a few words and save the document (do NOT close the document);
(3) with the document still open, go to the Finder, find the document in the Finder Window, and change the name;
(4) go back to the AW document and type another word (i.e., edit the document);
(5) click File > Save
[the "Save" feature should appear dimmed and it will no longer let you save!!!]. Obviously, you won't lose data if you File > Save b/c it's clear that something is up. However, if you apple+s (like me) you could end up losing data because of this bug/glitch.

I am just wondering if this problem happens with ALL versions of AW, or if mine is just somehow corrupted. Thanks for the feedback.

T.

Meh, maybe. But is the problem with the Finder, or with AW?
